    The student

    Zaitoon Bailey the receptionist there she's so rude I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw she let a grade 11 boy vape in her office bit thinking clearly I think she should be fired honestly how's that a good thing for learners to witness such behaviour

    My experience

    This school consistently fails to handle bullying properly. Reports are often ignored, brushed off, or met with empty promises, leaving learners feeling unsupported and unsafe. While the school claims to care about student well-being, their actions rarely reflect this. Not all teachers behave professionally, and favouritism is very noticeable.

    Enter to learn and leave to serve

    Rylands High School relies on what I refer to as the seven pillars of achievement: these pillars are academics, sport, culture, technology, leadership, outreach, and service. Trust me when I say that Rylands High is constantly growing and excelling in all these areas. All schools have flaws and we need to accept that the rumors of Rylands will always be around but one thing i can say is that the school does take the necessary measures when they need to. They produce good students and the rylands family are really close. The opportunities given along the way are amazing. It's honestly amazing to cross paths with people who will not only become friends but will become family.

    My experiences as an ex student

    The school has always favoured the kids that are "smarter" by getting them help with their career paths while the rest had to deal with it on their own. They say they care about all of the children when they really don't. The school is also very problematic and can't take criticism.

    They are problematic

    The school is very problematic, they dont handle bulling properly. Favorites are always chosen and the rules never apply to them. The school has been unprepared when it came to the time tables and class list for all 5 years that I've been there. Some teachers are amazing but there are a few that bullies the children
