I would like to address the never-ending issue of bullying. The bullying situation at this school is immaculate. When I attended a couple of years ago, I was constantly being bullied. There were a couple of situations where I thought that I was being sexually harassed by my classmates. I don't think that this type of behaviour should be accepted at a catholic school like this. I advise prospective students and teacher to take this issue into account when applying.
