Campsie Public School

I loved this school. I loved everything about it. I physically cry everyday about this school. The memories I made were incredible. I remember a little library I made with a girl named Skye. And, I still remember the school song.

Did not have a good time here. Not the worst school but definitely not the best. One of CPS's weakest points is the students. I don't want to be mean, but I feel obliged to be brutally honest in a review, so I will just say, the students are horrible. Sure, there are a few good ones that I adore but many of them are either disgusting, rude or annoying. One person I remember was very rude, antagonized me and my friends and made a bunch of people feel really uncomfortable. They did really inappropriate things to people around them and nobody really had a super positive opinion on them. Another person ruined my childhood by being the most toxic friend I've ever had. They excluded people, talked bad about others in languages they didn't understand and never apologized for anything they did. Furthermore, another person I remember bragged, talked bad about others in front of them in languages they understood to someone else (like they would audibly whisper to someone something bad about you in front of you) and was really annoying. I would extend on this but then this review would be far too long so I'll leave it on that. What made these horrible children worse is that the teachers do nothing about it. Students do terrible things in front of teachers and what do they do? Nothing. One of the people I mentioned above did something horrible to my friend (which I will not specify as I do not think it will add anything to this review) so they told the teacher and what did they do? Tell them not to do it again. As if that would stop them. They do have a system called Sentral but it doesn't do anything to stop these children. Someone I know has been on Sentral a bunch of times before yet nothing has happened. Their parents were informed about it and nothing else happened. A lot of teachers are also really mean. One teacher I remember was really biased and even picked up a child once. Absolutely insane how these people are allegedly qualified to be teachers. You don't learn a lot there either. They have language stuff like Korean and Vietnamese but you barely learn anything there. For me, I only learnt how to read Korean and a few words, they teach you very specific words regarding science instead of words that are used in day to day life. Chinese class was also just reading, analysing and writing basic texts. Also, even enrichment classes don't do complicated things. They mainly do tests, listen and do basic things like multiplication in year 6. Another minor complaint is that everything is very late. Camp, getting year 6 shirts, leadership role giving, it's all done far later than other schools. (Small note: toilets are filthy) In general, I believe Campsie Public School is definitely not the best school to go to. Rude children, careless teachers and bad education, I don't think CPS played a big part in my academics. However, with the few children I did like, I had a good time, especially because of the fact that they have the festival (though last year it was quite empty).
