Absolute shambles
There is hardly any communication when you try to contact school you can be waiting up to a week for a reply. The attendance team are useless and the head teacher has never been available in the year and a half my daughter has been attending. The worst mistake I made sending my daughter here. Also pornagraphic material was sent to my daughter through the school email system. I informed the police. The school just removed my daughter from ICT classes for 3 weeks. She was the victim and they punished her for walking out of the lesson in distress.
DONT GO
The bathrooms are disgusting 🤢🤢 teachers never sort anything out everybody fights people bully people I do NOT recommend this school for Ur child
i dont know
they care more about uniform then behavior. put in isolation for 2 periods for having a tie in the wash. they dont do much about problems and rarely give good students praise. school meals are banging tho
Bad school
All so bad, just leave the country at this point
Just my opinion on the school
The school might look like a good school but the students are either rude or something similar if your another religion other than Christianity or Atheist, and the teachers there are no help especially when you want help the most, I've been to dcs before so I would know, be happy I actually gave a star, pussio.
Do not send your children
Cathedral school is ran like a young offenders institute rather than a school with law abiding children.
Extreme lack of care to students especially with extra educational needs
Teachers bully students daily

SCHOOL LIFE FOR ME.

secret
it’s so bad i swear
Horrible school
Terrible staff, and they don’t sort problems out
How do i even start
how do i even start this , the bullying policy is very bad they do not follow what they say! do not send your kid here!
My experience
I'm in year 7 and my experience is not good but not bad I get hurt alot and I'm getting bullied and I'm not well liked this school does not have well behaved people but no one is behaved but I hope for the schools sake that this changes because the bullying policy is not great
I hate DCS
I swear I'm going to kms because of this school 🙃
WHY I DON'T RECOMMEND DCS
I am a yr8 student who goes to this and my experience is HORRIBLE, we have fights more than 2 times a week so they are very common, racist incidents have led to students getting PHYSICALLY HURT, a student actually hurt a teacher too last week but he's fine now.The discipline is the WORST, I swear too many students are sooooooo disrespectful and are mean to each other.To be honest I don't feel safe so I'm hoping to move schools eventually.The education system isn't too bad I guess.And in NAV (that's where bad students are sent for a bit) you are mixed with other bad students and you get to PLAY ON A COMPUTER once you finished your work but I'm not too sure since this is just a shared experience from a friend who went there but I think this is why misbehaved students never learn. So, if your considering on sending your child to this school I recommend to look for another PLUS the gates are open for the school so I guess it's kind of easy for anyone to get in.
Time will tell
With the New school only just opening at the Great Northern Road site, it’s not at full student capacity yet. The students at the moment range from Year 7 intake in September 2021 to Year 10 and won’t be at full capacity for another 3-4 year’s
