Cooloongup Primary School

The staff have no desire to work with children with additional needs. Behaviour support and management is non existent. No compassion, empathy or care.

If you have any desire for your child to get a good education, DO NOT enrol them here. The Principal has no desire to improve the education standard of the school. Rather than dealing with the absolutely appalling behaviour of a hand full of students by expelling them from the school after they more than meet the minimum criteria by physically attacking and injuring classmates on a daily basis, she sweeps it under the rug and forbids any class teacher from informing the parents as to the incidents of the day by holding their jobs over them. When staff are told that a parent is removing a child from the school due to the appalling conditions, many are coerced into leaving the child there in a 'wait and see' approach. The school chaplain doesn't believe that there are any unprovoked attacks at the school which sums up the degree to which the School Administration is burying their heads in the sand. Gail Sampson has failed every child at this school and needs to be removed from her post and a full investigation needs to be done into her conduct and mismanagement. Under no circumstances should any child be enrolled here.
