Vindictive leadership, soul degrading experience. I would have loved a more caring Principal.

The good things
The community is good, some families are really nice.
The challenges
Very poor PA, very poor leadership in P Arts. It is not up to Carey's reputation to continue like this. Some people must go.

Not the best

The good things
Salary, some staff members, excellent resources.
The challenges
Poor orientation, little teacher support, too much catering to parents, poor resource allocation, awful communication on a daily basis, poor staff morale, many entitled students with unrealistic expectations, absence of consistent approach to discipline, poor documentation of student wellbeing concerns, inconsistent approach to students with learning needs, too much focus on sport rather than academia.
