Greymouth High School

This school has become impossible to deal they don't care about student safety or students my son gets harassed bullied by teachers deputy principal most days

My experience so far has been very great. The teachers have all been inclusive, nice and interested in who we are as students and invested in our school life. They are always there to help and are easy to talk to. Progress has been made to be inclusive of all and make sure everyone can get education in a way that works for them. There are many different courses and activities for everyone and support is there if you want to do something new. Some things I would like to see more of or changed include: the uniforms (either more available sweatshirts and better shirts that are more comfortable for students) and more classes or breaktime activities advertised for NZSL and Te Reo Māori as some cannot do the full class for Te Ao Māori and I haven't seen the NZSL class advertised in a while. They are national languages and I think they should be included more in our daily lives. Otherwise GHS is a wonderful school and students can thrive here.

It’s a very rough school, had to drop out because I was bullied and excluded from a lot of things, I would have panic attacks walking into class and spend my lunchtimes by myself, my first day I was on my own, and I knew no one there, they didn’t even give me a buddy or a guide to help me, I spent most of my time there crying or going to the counselor, and even then they didn’t help me, slot of the kids there were rude, even to the teachers and they would just let it happen, maybe not everyone had this experience, but it made it hard because no one helped me
