Raroa Normal Intermediate School

Im probably biased. No, I definitely am. Raroa was honestly the worst two years of my life. It was probably because of my mindset and other uncontrollable variables. Mostly, the students and teachers and not a great education system. Sure, they have an outstanding Design Production Education system, and awesome electives and great sports opportunities, but they never mention the actual classroom time. I did learn some things from Raroa, but most of it was from Mathletes or Extreme Writing. Most of the learning I did there was socially, like learning how to grow up. I didnt like any of the teachers at all - but I dont think they liked me or simply knew me at all. Some were unnecessarily cruel to students (Ms Collins, Ms Carroll, Ms Herbet), but who can blame them, really? Also, a lot of the 5 star reviews on here have been orchestrated by the teachers. I remember one day a bunch of kids were picked to write reviews about the school during class time (seemingly without reason?) - probably to maintain a nice facade, I don't know. But yeah, most of the reviews are fake - or at least, somewhat forced. I once wrote a 3 star review in year seven (on my school account, a mistake), and for some reason one of the deputy principals talked to me about it during class time and encouraged me to delete it. I did, because I was pressured, but still. One last thing: no one pronounces the name of this school properly; and the teachers dont even encourage it. You have to roll the rs, otherwise youre not really saying the name, are you? The point of this is that I dont even go to Raroa anymore and people in my life tell me everyday that Im obsessed. At least high school is better so far.

If you were bullied here then there was probably a good reason.
