Bower Park Academy

i wish i could rate this school a 0. i went to this school for two and a half months before moving to new zealand, and im sure plenty of the teachers will know who i am based off of that simple hint. my older sister went to this school before we left the country when she was at the start of year ten. she has autism and adhd, and most of the teachers did nothing to help her with her needs. i have not been diagnosed with anything, but the amount of panic attacks i had and the teachers would do nothing to stop students from making fun of me or making it worse? pathetic. some of the teachers that DID help and prevent my under three months at bower to be worse than it already was, were (i will spell some of these names wrong) teachers grieveson, miss matthews, mr blair, and miss tichener. there were some other teachers that i sadly didnt get the name of before leaving, but those four teachers really helped me with my time at bower. i would highly recommend talking to these teachers if youre struggling at the school, because all four of them were like parents to me. even on my last day, at the pride club, miss matthews and teacher grieveson made a mini party for me, and it was honestly an amazing end to my last ever school day in my home country. what didnt help, was when teachers were constantly down your throat to do something that wasnt necessary, and when you had constantly told them the reason for not being able to do it or forgetting. mrs mosouro constantly told me to get this diary thing signed by a guardian to prove i did my homework? i didnt even do the homework so there was no point anyway, but i was packing my childhood home up every day after school, and she couldnt care less. i was sent out of form on two separate occasions for shouting at her after she shouted at me. i did not shout louder than her or anything, but if shes going to disrespect me, im not going to not say something. anyway, one day i have a lunch time detention with miss lucas for not doing my homework, (the younger miss lucas) then mrs mosouro walks into the class and she asks why i didnt do the homework, and i dont remember exactly what happened but what i do remember is me saying something along the lines of "ive told you so many times i dont have time to do the homework, im always packing" and i started crying. part of it was exaggeration, part of it was being so drained and exhausted from doing this every day. i couldnt do it anymore. she panicked, not because she was concerned for ME, but more concerned for HER, and HER job. she took me back to my form room (which was opposite the one we were previously in) and then asked what was wrong. she knew damn well what was wrong. she also had this rule that "if you have to do time in at break or lunch, weather its 1 minute or the whole break, you will be doing atleast an hour (or 45 minutes i forgot) with her after school. so she pulled me into a very awkward side hug and gave me tissues and tried to 'comfort' me and tell me to stop crying, then said "forget about the detention okay just forget about it, go to lunch now" so i didnt have to do an afterschool. pathetic. this is just one of my bad experiences at bower park academy.

Terrible don't send ya kids here if you love em they will follow if you ask to be left alone while crying ur eyes out horrible school
