Top 10 Worst Schools For Bullying In Nsw

[Riekie]

I came acros this list of schools which have been identified by the NSW Government in July 2011 for an anti-bullying initiative, having the worst bullying records in NSW.

I recall a recent post by a concerned parent (and quite a few in the past) about this very issue and how some parents resorted to moving their children to another school as the school could not effectively address the problem. With this information being available, it may be helpful to the many parents still in South Africa, researching possible schools for their kids (which in itself is almost mission impossible). If these problem schools could be avoided (where possible) from the word go, it could decrease the need to move kids from one school to another while they are still struggling to adjust and make new friends in Australia as it is.

Here they are:

Fairfield High School

Northlakes High School

Toronto High School

Newcastle High School

Kempsey High School

Jamison High School

Chifley College Bidwill

Ambarvale High School

Kooringal High School

Dubbo Campus

Fairfield, Chifley and Ambarvale are in Sydney. Newcastle is in the Greater Sydney Region. The rest are located in greater NSW.

Although bullying is not limited to public schools, the initiative will focus on public schools only in the trial phase but Catholic schools are also cracking down.

Hope this helps a bit with finding the right school.
