Virginia Primary School

So good school

I wish i reported this school a long time ago to the department of education. I remember so clearly of the ordeal. When I was grade 4 at 9 years of age, I was going through a time where my parents were constantly separating back and forth which led me to move to many different schools. When I got moved to Virginia Primary School, unable to cope with domestic violence at home and not being able to make new friends, I often would eat lunch alone in the toilet. At the time, the school was highly reputable at educating children to be respectful to the school property and being kind to one another. One day, the girls toilet were vandalised with rude graffitis all over the walls. A “girls” meeting was taken place and some of the girls pinpointed that I was the one who did this because I was known as “the loner girl who eats lunch in the toilet”. The disaster just unleashed from there. The next day at around 10am, the school principal by the name of Rebecca Reid-Nguyen and the deputy principal took me into their office into this very confined room downstairs. For close to 6 hours until school finished, they interrogated me and forcefully tried to make me admit that I vandalised the toilets. I bawled my eyes out and felt so defenceless against 2 adults. The principal took out a hand mirror to put infront of my face, made me look at myself in the mirror and called me “disgusting”. When I came home that night telling my family about the whole ordeal, they ended up moving me to another school. I just wished they did more to help me. 3 months later, I bumped into one of the old classmates from this school and they told me they discovered the culprit who vandalised the walls 2 wks after I left. I never got an apology from the principals. 5 years ago, I bumped into the school principal who no longer worked at the school while I was working at a bank and served her, she held my hand and told me she was proud of how far I have come in my life before she said goodbye. I have forgiven but I would be lying to myself if I said this memory did not play a negative impact on my self-esteem in my today’s adult life.

not teaching people the right way

Its a very good place but I would like the teachers to be more respectful because my teacher has been kinda I would say a little bit mean sometimes. To me i want a big change

Great school, great teachers and great environment. Would recommend this school to all families in the local area. Cant go wrong
