Let me break it down..

i've been at st-chris my entire life, and as a student in the senior school, allow me to break it down for those of you who are bickering like little bitches:

st-chris as a school:

1) education
yes, its got a high standard of education, with strict strategic disciplining of students, but that counts for nothing when the staff are sacked, jumbled and re-stocked every year. my history teacher told me that she cant help me with my coursework because she was new. despite all this, i have learned and achieved in st-chris.

2) food
the food in the canteen ( the so called 'tuck' shop ) is garbage, with no nutritional balance. i found a decapitated mosquito in my sandwich once, but lets remember that the canteen is not part of the school, but of a 3rd party company called "eastern bakery", so blame the shit food on them, but the failure to correct the problem on the school.

3) teachers & students
there is a huge mix of students in the school. from a social and behavioral point of view, there are students who are as angelic as the driven snow, that will never swear or even step on an ant. on the other hand there are students from all years ( mainly yr9 and up ) that openly drink alcohol, are excessively vulgar and even smoke cigarettes and hashish. not that they do it in the school campus or anything, but as a student i can tell you that there are a lot of them, some being my friends ( i dont judge ). this is a parental problem, but once again reflects what they are being taught in school. as for the teachers... well .. since everyone is so hyped up about the miss mangin controversy, this is the honest truth: she moved me down a set because i did poorly on 1 test ( due to lack of sleep ) and when i told her that i didnt want to move down because i honestly felt i belonged in her set, she went berserk on me. i was moved back up a set within 1 f***ing term...
she carried her belongings in a bag that was intended for tuborg beer, and even had a picture of beer on it. what an impression... never the less she was a good teacher, and taught me what i had to know.

i wont tell you how brilliant or 'shitish' the school is. form your own opinion from my perspective as a student.

to a note from people saying that it seems like all st. chris student swear and have poor english:
its called teenagehood/msn speak. if typing in short hand wasn't easier, im sure people wouldnt do it. as for the swearing, its called teenagehood. i wonder what your teenage child says when your not in the room....

done deal.
