What parents say

• Hayley

  The bus driver drove me off the road inside a tunnel. When I alerted them about this, they did not take any action. All parents should know they don’t care about your kids’ safety.

  Traumatized from allat stress.🔥 not coming back. The amount of embarrassment and stress I’ve felt while being here for about half of my life is insane when I try to express my emotions on how I need more time and less pressure on being told to hurry up all the teachers do is nothing🙅‍♀️ I have had multiple break downs in this school I hate it so much🥰. And the fact in gym class you are forced to be trained like a Athlet is insane, doing Pyramide runs down and up the triple gyms In grade FOUR. Don’t want to? Too bad ur forced to, teachers get mad when you don’t do the work but never suspect an actual reason you sent doing your work it’s always “your lazy” “stop talking to your friends” “pay attention next time” and never considering a students mental health. I also went to the ssc for multiple classes and when I get there I get greeted, told what to do, and left to fend for myself being literally clueless. Made my anxiety 90million times worse.

  As a parent I regret sending my 2.5-year-old son here. The main thing they taught him was how to cry and be helpless. His main teacher seemed cold and uncaring. It has been a year and he still is not himself. We are starting him in therapy to reduce his anxiety which started at this school. I wish I had listened to my gut at the time and just pulled him out when he was so unhappy. We are incredibly disappointed with the quality of education we received for our son.

  I graduated from Hillfield Strathallan 50 years ago. The years spent there were possibly the best of my life. Wonderful teachers. Very involved athletics and once had army cadet training. Like others, I was nervous about leaving the public system but not for long. Thank you Hillfield Strathallan.

  Mr. Saccheti and Mr. Zika were two teachers who have left an impact on me. I came to the school as a troublemaker, had terrible grades and did not take life seriously. The impact these two teachers left on me without a doubt is the only reason I entered medical school, and they motivated me to become a better person both morally and academically. If you send your kids to this school like my parents had sent my brother and I in our youth, I promise you that this school will give them the resources they need to succeed. Mr. Zika and Mr. Saccheti, if you are reading this I am forever indebted to you. - Sincerely Aleem Farooq, a former student and one of your pupils
