I used to go to kvc absolute shit hole I was bullied and beaten up by everyon and the teachers are so bad they don't care about your mental health they also don't appreciate LGBTQ students I have friends their and I feel so bad for them. They dont call your parents if your sick or badly hurt and they don't let you express yourself you cant have coloured hair or painted nails or any of that shit. I was even bullied but the teachers told i was stupid and in year 9 to go back to year 2 by my maths teachers I absolutely hated that school and DO NOT RECOMMEND SENDING YOUR KIDS HERE unless you want them to have a bad education and anxiety, depression and server mental health issues don't send your kids here for there own good and yours
I'm only into the second year but it's been really good so far, the teachers are pretty nice and only get mean and pissy if it's the students fault. The bathrooms are still pretty bad as usual and they had to remove the damn mirror in the jr block bathrooms (I forgot the block letter) but it's been good overall
Disregard for mental health, racism and homophobia, students have bought weapons onto premises on multiple occasions, though some staff members may be nice, there are also many that make this school even worse, save yourself the trouble.
fuck this shitty school I go here and have been told multiple times that I cant hangout with younger or older kids then me even tho I have a friend group that has people a year older maybe even 2 years and they don't do shit about bullying and the teachers are absolutely fucking amazing like I love being called a kindergartener and a baby it makes me feel so welcomed its always a plus :D I love how I was reading a question out loud to understand it and got told by that shrek looking motherfucker Dr Mathhews I wasn't allowed to talk and when I tried to explain that I was just reading it out loud to understand it I got told to "GET OUT OF MY CLASS ROOM" then got called a brat makes me feel real welcomed go fuck yourself
This school is grand, absolutely nothing to complain about, just kidding the Māori class always smells like cat meat or fish or something that’s rank. If you come here, DO NOT Sign up for Māori.
My 12 year old son has ODD has behaviour Issues he has been kicked out of this school last year but was referred back to kaikorai valley college, he had so many support people involved to help we all had a plan in place. This was not followed and my 12 year old only a week ago was stood down over a teacher aid that was for my son but would call my son nasty names. First day back and only a hour into school I was called to pick him up and not to come back till the meeting. We seen the principal and damian who have now put my son against the board when what they done is there fault they did not follow his plan. That principal is nasty and I'm glad he is leaving. They don't ring you and tell you what has gone on to. This school sets child up to fail in my eyes and they just wanted him gone. Well I have removed my son from that shit school and I wouldn't send any of your kids there if they have behaviour issues. Kids a bullied all the time there. Principal is nasty and talks rude. It's his way no matter what you say. Please careful sending your child here please.......
this school is not a way to put your child in a great education . this school does nothing about bullying , harrasment , EVERYTHING . teachers are rude disrespectful and completely insane . do not send your child here unless you want them to get severe depression and anxiety of the way they treat students . do the right thing !
It is THE worst high school in Dunedin, The toilets are rancid, the teachers, most of them are old pieces of crap, but some of their new teachers are more appreciative.
blatantly racist language used by the teachers, nothing is taken care of as there is a hole in the boys toilets, obvious favoritism and sexist teachers who treat you like shit yet preach the opposite of what they do 0/10
They only pay attention to the really smart kids and give zero care about you unless you got an award and the school lunches are half raw someone got food poisoning last week from a half cooked burger i get it's free but jeez and half of the teachers find something to joke about you the only good teacher in my eyes is the music teacher.I have even seen a student with a disability been hit by one of the teachers that teach in the braithwaite center for yelling and he cant help it he barely says anything now.And the black mold and clogged urinals and toilets is appalling you can barely use a toilet anyways because half of them are locked.Half of the students are depressed and snap on teachers or bullies which is terrible.Rick geerlofs your a trash principal.
Ah yes, All students enjoy the black mood in every corner and the bathrooms that were LOCKED for all student use 24/7 for a while. They watched me almost die and laughed at my mother for wanting the teacher to get his non existent teaching license suspended. Teachers are rude, Racist and Homophobic. They are highly sexist and they don’t care for students well-being. Almost all kids at this school are depressed and this school is SO good with bullying. Unless your the receiver of the bullying. Worst school in dunedin. Don’t send your kids here
This school does not cater kids with mental health struggles. They expect every kid to be performing at top capacity whilst most of them are mentally drained and a high amount of students are depressed. This school sucked the life out of my children and I can’t say I would recommend.
A school that loves to seperate and have a bias towards the smart children and never hear anyone else out. Also a very corrupt school where they let money and your social status influence the way situations are dealt with just to add a new tv in the staff room. They also have neglect and don’t care when it comes to the students mental health, and barely take a stand towards bullying but uses the term very loosely in silly situations. Speaking of situations they poorly handle them, again especially towards the students they are bias to. The only good thing is that some of the teachers are nice and agree with what ive said. don’t. come. here.
absolutely amazing school! they LOVE to help us with our mental health! they 100% care about whether you have been hurt!!❤️❤️❤️the delicious smell of 5 year old vomit in every single bathroom really takes a kick! 10/10 amazing school!! they handle bullying SOOOO well!!!! no one gets called a f*g at all❤️❤️ KVC also is VERY accepting of transgender students and when you come out to the guidance counsellor, she 100% doesn’t use your deadname❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
all of this was sarcasm😘😘😘😘

most teachers are racist, transphobic, homophobic and ableist 🥰 the school doesn’t give a damn about any bullying and manages mental health issues badly. inclusivity is a topic they LOVE to not talk about. there’s only two gender neutral bathrooms at the school, both in really inconvenient places 1000/10 😊
they don’t really try and help your mental health. whenever you tell a staff member you’re having a bad day they just ignore you completely and don’t go easy on you. this school has some great teachers but is VERY sexist!! whenever someone says something homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist etc. the school does pretty much nothing. the only good part of KVC is probably the fact they hardly give out homework during years 7-10 and lunch time is everyone’s favourite time. would personally love to move schools although i’ve met some great people there are some horrible people too that no staff member does anything about. also this school is quite against mental health issues from what i’ve seen. a teacher recently today yelled at my friend, who has tourette’s syndrome, for saying something as a vocal tic that they COULDNT control and considered it “attitude” which is not acceptable. my friend recently got sexually assaulted by an older boy, we reported the incident and the school has done absolutely nothing!! -3000/10.
Amazing school, absolutely divine black mold in every corner of the crumbling school, crying every night because the school preaches about mental health but doesn’t ever help which is always a plus!, the S block bathrooms which smell like a mix of vomit and poop mixed together😍, overall great school as I’ve shown in the points, 110% recommend (if you want to get clinical depression)
