Based on my experience at Waiuku College
Waiuku college were great from my last 5 years at school from 30th January 2020 - November 2024. Thank you for a great experience there and the teachers were great. When I got bullied in year 9 Ms Joyce sorted it out straight away. The teachers were kind and caring towards me. The school values were outstanding. But there needs to be better communication for parents for the year 13 leavers dinner they need to put a notice in the newsletter about the leavers dinner for parents. They should also put a notice on facebook about the leavers dinner for parents and they should send letters to year 13 families saying that parents can attend to the leavers dinner. Outside during intervals and lunchtime there needs to be a friendship bench for students that struggle to make friends so someone can sit next to them. There needs to be vape smoke detectors in the bathrooms to stop vaping and sensors on computers to alert if someones vaping in the bathrooms.
Bad experience with the school-former student
Former student. Found that many teachers barely did their jobs or dealt with bullying.
Waiuku College is not a place to send your Queer, and kids of colour.
Bathrooms are disgusting. Went in one time, there was literal shit on the walls. Plus the amount of homophobia, transphobia and racism is ridiculous. As someone who is under the trans umbrella, and bisexual I have gotten a lot of hate. Better then puke high but not by a lot.

Crap computer technician (broke my school laptop whist it was in for fixing)

Great school
Good school, very good with sport and academics however do not handle bullying very well. There isn’t a lot of it but when there is can be better. Also the new whanua classes in school are creating a racist environment
where do I start....
pretty shit, teachers bad at their job, ****** *** ********** *********, school doesnt know what's happening, too many teachers going in and out, same subs getting hired with no knowledge on the subject, different leniency depending on the student. do not reccomend.
poopy
Toilets smell like shit , teachers don’t give a shit about the students, protect the bully instead of the victim. Have taken ages to sort the new timetable.
10/10 do not recommend

A very good school that cares
This school is truly amazing that words can not describe how spectacular this school is. I have met a lot of good people at this school. This school is accepting, loving, and understanding. It has a great community of great teachers, students, and staff who genuinely care about the students and other stuff. Waiuku College is one of the safest schools in NZ, sure there will be some drama and bullying but they tend to deal with that pretty well, and you are going to meet people like where ever you go.
Waiuku college
Really good friendly teachers students not so much made online learning simple and easy to understand
