My children attended challis for nearly 3 years and I regret ever putting them in there. Since combining ECEC and the primary school the school itself feels inadequate to cope with the amount of students. Bullying not only by other students but by TEACHERS is what led me to pull them out. It was rife in this school and the way they deal with it was to sweep it under a rug and blame the parent or child. My daughter was stuck with a teacher that could not spell nor read. In my personal opinion he should never have been around children as he was always so angry and disrespectful towards them. Never encouraging and my daughter suffered because of it. It took them 1 year to listen to complaining parents to get rid of him, and to this day I kick myself for putting up with it for as long as I did. Now as for the school structure itself, the back carpark is atrocious and something needs to be done before there is a fatality caused by either a student being run over or a fist fight breaking out. Some classrooms during 45° weather are without any air conditioning and the poor kids have to swelter through. Also the classes are in desperate need of some colour. All drab, no wonder the kids look so miserable on pickup. I would rather homeschool both of my kids than have to place them in this school again.

My son had some bad experiences with both teachers and bullies until coming to Challis. He has never been happier! Can't say enough about how good the school is, and the teachers are excellent. I plan to send all my kids there :)
