Feilding High School

The favouritism in this school is intense and I’ve heard multiple teachers absolutely dogging on students for absolutely no reason which is incredibly unprofessional on their part. Despite being uncomfortable in social situations I had a group teacher who constantly picked me out for that reason and would approach me constantly even outside of group to make me talk. When I confronted him and told him it bothered me and I’m simply a shy person not a depressed one he attempted to send me to counseling multiple times.
This school is the worst regarding bullying, I got constant death threats and was physically bullied over the span of 6 months despite reporting the behaviour multiple times I was blamed by the year 10 dean and was told it was my own fault (I’d never met this girl before this).
A few teachers are absolute angels but the majority are nothing but depressed old ppl whose only form of control is bullying children who are already going through difficult times.
DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL!!!

Would rate this school the worst. My parents moved a lot so I’ve been to plenty of different high schools, and I finished my academics at Feilding high for about 2 years, And this is the worst school I had ever been too.
Teachers are rude, unsupportive and racist.
We even had a small gathering of young Māori/pacific island students meeting with the deans, school head figures and the police, I remember one question that was asked by the policeman to snuff out which teachers or faculty where racist. The policeman even asked “can you tell me which staff are racist?”
No one said a word because we had all been having a hard time with them and the staff that were present for the meeting were the ones that were the racists.
Also I remember the day I left the rugby team and all the deans and higher ups turned on me real fast.

full of a bunch of inbred freaks who harass anybody who dares be different. teachers do nothing about bullying. i have had slurs screamed and me and have been told to kill myself multiple times but nothing has ever been done. all the school cares about is sports, the arts department is extremely underfunded. classrooms are full of cockroaches and rats are prevalent in english resource rooms.

The school has no overall care for the mental health of students. They don’t take into consideration what could be going on at home or in their lives and more focus on trying to look good. The students that play sports are treated way more fairly then students that don’t.

Especially some teachers there that make fun of kids and if a student tries to stick up for themselves they don’t let them and don’t let them have a voice

Hugeeeee bullying problem. Dean's are useless and unless ur a fave they will treat u like a problem. School loves u if u play sports. Not enough places to sit. They don't communicate enough, we don't know anything until the last moment. Not enough freedom.

Is it true this school expects students to provide proof of death certificates if they take a day or two off for the death of a loved one? Weird.

This school expects everyone to be head over heels smart and when it comes to open day they always pick topband kids that they think look good for school pictures and that are smart enough, I think that everyones voices deserve to be heard even if you arent the smartest it doesnt make you any less human, the health teachers alwasy say how you should express yourself in feeling and looks but its pretty hard to do that when you arent aloud coloured or unatural hair and the boys have to have it cut above the shirt collar, and when we do speak about how we feel the school just doesnt have it. This school is mostly supportive to sports and always give rewards and attention to sport players but never any academic rewards or anything. The school does push you to be your best in school but sometimes they expect way to much from you. The music department is one of the only places that are welcoming to every academic level and dont judge you for it. Some of the teachers are really rude and disrespectful to students, if your skirt is just above your knees or if your face needs shaving or if your hair needs cutting they be sure that you know about it whether its infront of alot of people or if you get pulled out of class. The school when it comes to bullying instead of trying to help the victim they make it out that it was your fault for trusting or interacting with the bully. If you want to go to a school where its based on being very smart and very sporty then this place is for you, but in my opinion they need to lower their expectations

It’s is not that inclusive I mean they try to be which is good but they only care about sports especially rugby. (Can get away with a lot of things). They also don’t care about being expressive and having a voice. I don’t feel that comfortable being there sometimes especially in the junior years after I struggled with some issues they just told me to go to the councillor which didn’t help. They need to have some mental health resources which would more do with the educational system. Some teachers are cool and supportive. Others aren’t, are very judgmental, harsh and need to think of their students. They have some good subject options though. Year 10 camp was also a highlight here. I guess it is just school.

I think it’s a great school. The teacher’s are all supportive and offer support to you whenever you need it. The opportunities are great and they’re are many. Fahs incorporates everyone’s culture.
