Me and the bois were in the lower heaven aura farming in the hallways until a tall guy who went by the name "Big D Randy" approached us. He asked us if we were still in middle school and when he told we were he licked his lips and said, "not expired yet." We managed to get out the situation but I would not recommend coming here unless you're ready to be a young adult.

Today one of the schools bus drivers just kept honking the horn for 10 minutes straight because a Rexall pharmacy delivery van was in blocking his way. The delivery man left enough room for cars to go by but this was a huge school bus. This was at ray and Peter st. The bus driver was a young guy with glasses and a beard. Not even sure why he was even in those inner streets there very tight to begin with. But buddy was not all there. In normal situation you would wait or just back it up and move but he just honked for 10 mins straight.

Mr. Saccheti and Mr. Zika were two teachers who have left an impact on me. I came to the school as a troublemaker, had terrible grades and did not take life seriously.

The impact these two teachers left on me without a doubt is the only reason I entered medical school, and they motivated me to become a better person both morally and academically.

If you send your kids to this school like my parents had sent my brother and I in our youth, I promise you that this school will give them the resources they need to succeed.

Mr. Zika and Mr. Saccheti, if you are reading this I am forever indebted to you.

- Sincerely Aleem Farooq, a former student and one of your pupils

The bus driver drove me off the road inside a tunnel. When I alerted them about this, they did not take any action. All parents should know they don’t care about your kids’ safety.

I graduated from Hillfield Strathallan 50 years ago. The years spent there were possibly the best of my life. Wonderful teachers. Very involved athletics and once had army cadet training. Like others, I was nervous about leaving the public system but not for long. Thank you Hillfield Strathallan.

As a parent I regret sending my 2.5-year-old son here. The main thing they taught him was how to cry and be helpless. His main teacher seemed cold and uncaring. It has been a year and he still is not himself. We are starting him in therapy to reduce his anxiety which started at this school. I wish I had listened to my gut at the time and just pulled him out when he was so unhappy. We are incredibly disappointed with the quality of education we received for our son.

Traumatized from allat stress.🔥 not coming back.
The amount of embarrassment and stress I’ve felt while being here for about half of my life is insane when I try to express my emotions on how I need more time and less pressure on being told to hurry up all the teachers do is nothing🙅‍♀️ I have had multiple break downs in this school I hate it so much🥰. And the fact in gym class you are forced to be trained like a Athlet is insane, doing Pyramide runs down and up the triple gyms In grade FOUR. Don’t want to? Too bad ur forced to, teachers get mad when you don’t do the work but never suspect an actual reason you sent doing your work it’s always “your lazy” “stop talking to your friends” “pay attention next time” and never considering a students mental health. I also went to the ssc for multiple classes and when I get there I get greeted, told what to do, and left to fend for myself being literally clueless. Made my anxiety 90million times worse.

This is a person-oriented school where my children finish high school and become responsible and caring person . It is a wonderful school.
In addition, my son has been accepted by university of Toronto, Queen's University, McGill University, University of California, etc. I believe it's worth send kids there.
