    THE WORST SCHOOL EVER!

    WPS is the worst school EVER!. The teachers will gossip or judge you based on your religion or looks .The rules are absolutley unbelievable. The girls are not allowed to have their hair past their shoulder blade and the boys always have to cut bald or bus cut. If you have the wrong hairstyle they make you sit outside teachers bathrooms at breaktime until the hairstle is ''sorted out''. That principal with no hairline treats the children like they ae snakes.One time during assembly she came up to...

    WPS IS A SCHOOL OF SADISTIC DEVILS

    this crap of a school is so goddamn trash istg. that bald principal and her evil English underling love to make perfectly good kids feel as if they committed mass genocide, killing billions including their families, and now they have to obey the diabolical rules or else they die, bringing everyone they love and trust alongside. Wherever u wanna go, u gotta first ask a teacher, even if that's to go check on your hyperventilating premature down syndrome younger sibling who'd jump down the roof at...

    Removal of Gloves and Beanies during lineups

    My children attends Waterkloof Primary and they always complained about how the teachers order them to remove their beanies and gloves at lineup during winter whiles the teachers are wearing their. We all know that, its very cold in the mornings. I suggest they should allow them at least cover themselves well to prevent flu and headaches.

    The way learners and teachers respect each other

    I am currently going to this school. I enjoy it but some of the teachers mainly the HOD treated us like we live in a prison or concentration camp. I hate some days because we have to walk in single file lines and not say a word or we would be punished. The teachers seem like they enjoy punishment us and if one it something wrong the others would be punished (group punishment). I have sat in the past term 5-7 times of break dention because one child goofted off and the amount of respect from the teachers to students is pure trash do not get me wrong some of the teachers do amazing work and are the best for their jobs others belong in a prison or psychiatric ward because they are crazy .I would maybe recomend.

    REFUSAL OF ADMISSION FOR GRADE ONE WITH SIBLING AT SCHOOL

    I have a child already registered in Waterkloof primary school doing Grade4 ,i have done an application online however My child was placed in a school that is different from the one of his siblings- We have no option to decline the offer as its automated and also we are advised to at least apply in three schools, just to follow the rules I registered two more schools closer to home , I have met all criteria used to get my child place child at a school. My workplace is 4km way from school, my child has a sibling at the school, also my home address is not 30km away from the school. As a single parent I find myself in a dilemma as I will not be able to transport both kids to different school AND fetch them at the same time- all the login times are the same, it would have been easier if they were all placed in the same school. The department of Education is sending me back to the school and the school is referring me to the Department, I feel frustrated, the Department is making it difficult to assist us, especially us from single parented households. I'm Desperate and IM UNHAPPY, both my children need to be placed in the same school to avoid all this frustration. PLEASE HEAR ME OUT
