   I used to go to this place, me & my brothers were the only white people and that made my brother feel like it was a bad thing but I didn’t think anything of it, my brother has ADHD and this school did not help. My brother has 3 bullies I will not state their names but they made my brother feel TERRIBLE, and the teachers were so rude to my brother when he couldn’t help it. And I was in the first year like A1 or something and I had 5 boys older than me chasing me around the school every day I went, and there was this one boy who actually kissed me! Also there was a ramp that you would go up on but I tripped on it and my knees were bleeding so much, no teachers cared I just got an big square plaster and an ice pack. I then went to the hospital because I broke me knee cap or did something to it.

   Principal of this school Shirley Maihi (more commonly known as "Sherry"), has been quoted in the media on the issue of a climate change strike as saying: "they try to keep kids in class for every school day unless they're sick - and they don't intend to change that". Sherry apparently thinks that a student (bare in mind this school teaches from years 1 to 8 not high school), missing a single day to do something good in the world is terrible. How many days did she miss when she went to primary school as a kid? However that's a poor argument, maybe missing those days has clouded her judgement on what is right in the world (hence her comments in the media). Sherry must live a horrifically boring life. She probably wears the same boring shoes to work she has done ever since she decided to go to teachers college all those many many many many years ago. Don't sent your kids to this school. They'll turn out miserable, just like Sherry UPDATE - On the 29th of May it seems that Finlayson Park School closed so that Sheery could ask for more pay. Seems ironic as soon as a protest is going to benefit her back pocket she throws her previous disdain for missing school/work out the window. Doesn't really show leadership dos it?

   My review was removed? I will keep reposting my review every time it gets deleted. My child was told she made a coward act by a teacher because she seeked help of a from her sister that also attended this school, she was bullied for a whole year by a girl that was in her class. Why she seeked help from her sister instead of a teacher, is because they never helped her. Brushed her off as if nothing had happened. And they will never call you to tell you that your child got beat up.

   A Very caring and sharing school which is culturally sensitive and promotes nurturing of First Language, The Rangimarie Behaviour programme "supports out" those students who wish to push the boundaries in a whiole school approach
