Green Bay High School

ive had many complaints from a student in this school and its about the teachers thinking they have used AI for their assignments which then conclude to them failing the subject

A lot of overdramatic year 10s have been leaving pretty poor reviews. However in my opinion it is not as bad as some people make it out to be. I think it would be hard to find a school better out in West Auckland without going private, however this school is definitely pretty poor. A lot of the teachers are pretty bad, I feel like none of the math department can speak intelligible English, I'm unsure as to why they continue to hire people who can't speak the language their teaching in. All of the English teachers are pretty good and I personally do not have many complaints about that department. Vaping runs rampant and honestly if your child has "popular" social circle, there is almost a definite chance they will end up vaping. Drugs also are featured pretty heavily within school, inside and out. I've only seen a few cases in which the drug use is class A, but usually drug use ends with Ket or MD, and in most cases probably just mushrooms and weed. My main complaint with the school is the staff, apart from the occasional druggie and pretend hood rat (I'm looking at all those privileged white "hoodrat" year 11s that definitely live in suburban Titirangi) the student side of things is fine. However some of these teachers are absolutely terrible and do not deserve the job they have. I originally wanted to go to Uni for Comp Sci, however the teacher is so horrendous I have completely given up on that idea, they have done things like fail me (and other people) for no reason, other than they don't like me. Also lied to my parents at PST's, also tried to lie about the authenticity of my work when she knows I did it and watched me write it, only to back away when I threatened to go to the deans about it. She also introduces new rules (that the NZQA do not require or even mention) just to make it harder for me to submit my work. In my opinion if you feel you have any future within the Digital landscape after schooling, stay VERY far away from GBHS. I also have no dog in this fight, I've left school so I do not care what happens there, just giving my honest opinions. Also the amount of SAs (meksual masault) is absolutely insane. I know of at least 3 confirmed rapahs that attend that school as we speak. It actually so mental how if no legal action is taken the school won't do a damn thing, not even protecting victims from the assaulter, just leaving them both to roam the school, sometimes they might offer to give them counseling, but I'm sorry, they're so useless its actually funny. So honestly I wouldn't send my child here but you don't really have another choice that's much better, you're just going to have to come to terms with the fact that public school in Auckland is just shit no matter how you slice it, and unless homeschooled, ya kids are gonna have to go through some shit.

this school is the reason why i’m depressed. i hate going there everyday more then anything and 3/4 of the teachers couldn’t teach if their life depended on it. they are terrible at handling students with any kind of neurodiversity and will punish them for symptoms of a disorder that they literally know about.

schools gangsta as, cones on the field are alg cause the teachers are cluless

Not as bad as everyone says it is and percieves. Yes the vaping in the bathrooms and so on is a issue but its present in almost all schools now. There are also other small issues with management of sports teams and clubs for time. But overall the teachers help u one on one if you need it and don't just let kids go. The uniform rules are way more loose than other schools like a avcol and mags.

Genuinely a great school. Teachers are relaxed yet passionate enough for class to genuinely be enjoying. Rules regarding uniform are not as strict as other schools in the area. It’s easier to get to know everyone at this school too. Also, the senior staff regularly walks around and talks to students, apart from the uniform comments that sometimes annoy students, it really helps us develop a bond with all staff members. Teachers genuinely care about us, and the teachers I’ve had have been so lovely to me. Also, have very rarely experienced homophobia or racism, and the school actively pushes a 0 discrimination policy, even though there are a few instances of bullying that people encounter. Overall, it’s a pretty good school :)

Rules are too strict, uniform and stuff, teachers also push the students too much to always have stuff done. The principle is really stuck up too, I recommend any other school in west Auckland instead :)
