Ormiston Primary School

my experience here was mediocre, i’ve been here since i was a year 1 and here’s my say. the teachers are ok and some aren’t so great, we spend most time being growled at and staying in for recess because some learners couldn’t clean their own mess. trust me, you do not want to enrol unless you want to bare 6 hours with a teacher yelling at you non-stop. the education isn’t as bad, most students seem to be over the new zealand standard and are doing well, they also have extracurriculars for the students who students who need support and the students who are beyond the nz mean. which adds a star. the principal is quite cool, and he loves spending time with the children, and i respect that. although he can be a little.. 2016 vine musically style he still does his best to make the kids enjoy this school. which adds a star. the school system is quite creative, with authentic and original qualities such as the 4 vision principles, collaborative, capable, connected, and curious. (some of my old teachers were very cool and nice so +1 star) to summarise, the ormi experience was ok, except for year 5 and year 6 which was awesome, the reception lady still scares me a bit.

I went to this school from 2016-2020, and I can say it's a pretty okay school, mediocre at best. I loved how iExplore and iExperience were literally the same thing, just with different names. I felt it was stupid for them to remove the houses; Curious, Connected, Collaborative and Capable, because it added competitiveness and fun. Now I don't know what changed in the past four years other than the principal's inability to say no to more students, like man really just wants money from the government. Also the school has kids who aren't even 10 that have vaped. I liked my time there as well as the amount of fun I had to compensate the lack of education. Thank you for reading the review!

I went there from 2017 till 2023 and it was a great experience except for year 6 in year 6 I had the strictest I’ve ever met the teachers wouldn’t let anyone have their hair down and etc but other than that the education was good and honestly I enjoyed most of my time there

Great school, the principal is really good, always welcome the student in front of the door everyday regardless the weather. Kids love him, and enjoyed the school. As parents, we are really appreciated such good principal and primary school.

很棒的小学！ 孩子每天放学的时候都很高兴。有时候会说今天很累很辛苦，因为在学校学了很多新东西。我本来以为小学的课程很简单，不就是加减乘除嘛，我错了，学校的课程是有精心设计的。例如，孩子通过自己的兴趣，选择一个topic，然后会做research，上网/读书产生大量的阅读理解，同时还有group work, 一起画图，做brainstorm, mind mapping, 一起做project手工，还要写一篇essay，天啊！最后还会制作power point做总结，在全班同学面前做一个演讲. 突然让我觉得这像大学时候的assignment. 这种学习提高孩子的学习兴趣，锻炼他们的自学能力，提高阅读写作水平，发挥绘画动手能力和团队合作精神，从小就这样锻炼，会提高他们的自信.

I was a student in this school since 2019-2023 in those times i have been learning English and others since i come from China I remember that there’s actually very useful English class for the students form other country toilet are ok I guess some time I saw a lot of tissues on the gourd or something play gourd I think it maybe too nasty because there’s a lot of wet sand throw around and some of them even throw things at me I can take it students I don’t know how some of them swear and try to let me point middle finger and tell teacher that I did it I was trying to explain I actually have to give it 3 star but for something I give it a 4

My daughter started school this year and it has been amazing so far. Teachers are very kind and supportive. Highly recommend BSLA learning method.
