    Parent Review – Deep Concern About School Policy

    I am extremely disappointed with Newman High School’s approach to Year 11 students and the organisation of the Prom — the only event that symbolically marks the end of their school journey and their transition into adulthood.

    Terrible school

    The children there are terrible and the staff are very rude and have given me and my child a terrible experience. From the unacceptable lunches to the bad education I have been left shocked at cardinal Newman and offstead for lying to the public about the inaccurate reviews. This school is not recommended by me.

    Great School

    Best school. We did our culture day led by year 11 which was great. Loved it. Lovely teachers on the whole (some weirdos). I find the Head really fair. He is funny, good vibes as a Head. Uniform is a bit much at time but that’s school.

    I would not send my children here as the school is RACIST and they discriminate coloured people.
