📚 🎓 Crawford International Ruimsig (Maragon)

i attended this school from 2011 until 2022. this school cares more about money and image than education or students. about 40 teachers left the high school alone from 2018 until 2022, and then the school proceeded to hire teachers who were not competent in the subject they were hired to teach. favouritism is extremely obvious and students who struggle with academics are not given any attention. mental health is not prioritised at all, there is no psychological support for students and the teachers don’t seem to do anything about bullying or sexism. this school has no time for the arts either. my classmate was not allowed to attend class for two months because her parents were struggling with the atrociously overpriced school fees, and had her bursary revoked completely. one would think with school fees of R100k+ they would maintain the school buildings but most of the time the toilet stall doors would not even be functional. most things they say they offer, such as a yearbook, does not exist. matrics are not prioritised or given university/career guidance, unless you’re the 1% of teachers pets. i feel like i was cheated out of an education worth the school fees, so please think twice before sending your children to this school.

School was always dismissive of real problems and perpetuates bullying and rumours. This school is know by other schools to be toxic, and it shows when you attend here.

I was raped, started a gofundme to help pay expenses. When the school found the gofundme, I was called I by the school principal who told me to take down the gofundme as I was a "bad representation of the school brand" and that people were "uncomfortable" and there were rumours that I was "taking the gofundme money to buy drugs". This school never handled my bullying from Grade 1-8 and made my year worse than it ever needed to be. So disgusting.
