Wavell State High School

Doesn't matter where you go, teachers will always be deverse in teaching methods as in any field of education. This is a historic review as l departed in 1978 and visiting the images on this site l realised little has changed. Whilst there I excelled in manual arts, the facility at the time had precision equipment to learn on with the very skilled trade teachers in the field. The education l received at Wavell has flowed through my entire working life and although it was a tough school in it's time where the girls could be as violent as the boys with bloody outcomes it seemed the norm at this time, but we were resilent and learnt many life lessions as well. I travelled mostly in north Qld working in construction, also 5 local governments to finally find my way back home to the south east. Now a Civil Construction Coordinator for the Lockyer Regional Council l acknowledge the teaching and life education l received whilst l was at Wavell as freash as if it was yesterday, it's travelled with me now for 43 years and remember Wavell as a fantastic school.

I went to this school from year 7 to 8 and had to move for year 9 due to moving houses, and I was so upset about moving as I made great friends and some of the best memories while attending here. The school is nice, as it is a mix of diverse cultures and multicultural day was always the best. Had many inter and outer school activities to participate in. Overall, a pretty good school.

My experience with this school was mixed. The teaching could range anywhere between astoundingly good to horrifically poor. Maths, science, and language teachers were generally better while teachers in other subjects could go either way. The facilities in the school were okay. As time passed there were some improvements but the toilets and changing rooms were always gross and unsanitary. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for many of the students to have poor behaviour and this has impacted both myself (back when I attended this school) and my siblings who are currently attending the school.
