5 things I like about Abbotsleigh:
1. the new water taps to fill up drink bottles..
2. the fact that since its private, school finishes like 2 weeks earlier than others.
3. can access your school documents and emails from home without needing to carry a laptop.
4. school camps (but over the years they're gradually becoming worse, when i was in year 7, the year 12s got a full week out doing all sorts of awesome stuff, and now the year 12s get an overnight study camp at the northern beaches
5. that it's close to my house and i can walk there everyday.
things i dislike about abbotsleigh:
1. the teachers. a few can actually teach, but most of them can't.
2. the high expectations that the teachers put upon us (since most of the students were selected -- not including myself). no, they have to make every single hsc assessment task like impossible to do and have every girl coming out crying even though the hsc exam is not going to be nowhere near as difficult.
3. rules!!! so uptight about everything, i got a detention for skipping a free period because i didn't sign in with the teacher and i just went straight to the library (wtf.) and getting detentions for not wearing a hair ribbon.
4. the lack of facilities. surprising for a school that rakes in the millions each year, they invest in stupid plasma screens, that just play school notices over and over even though no one actually looks at them (which btw, 2 are right next to each other. god knows why we need one, let alone 2 of them). yeah, they would rather waste money on those instead of getting airconditioning for the classrooms.
5. the lame formals that they give us (year 10 - $50 for going to the school hall. year 11 - $100 for some boozy rsl club.)
ahhh, there are so many more bad things i could complain about..........
