We got no male teachers or male role models at all, now not even a guidance counsellor , all schools need male figure especially one that has children with special needs, we have no school play ground equipment as of Feb 2015.
My son like many others learn by hands on, and used to go shopping and do cooking classes, well not anymore all because the principal Jo.
I have recently written to the Education department and waiting also on minister in Brisbane to reply to me, I will go to local papers and news stations like advised if I have no out come BUT, WITH UR SUPPORT ON THIS MATTER I WILL HAVE MY PETITION READY FOR THEM!!!!
Also just like add in also requesting an audit to be done to know where what this Principal is doing with all the funding she keeps accepting.

When my daughter went to this school it was a great school,it was designed for kids with special needs,such a shame it has been changed,you can not run this school the same way as a " normal" school the children at this school need to be taught life skills like shopping & cooking ?? What are they thinking and no male teachers or aids?? What about toileting ect these kids need male role models esp the boys,some of which have behavioural issues. I used to tell people how great Hervey Bay special school was & how much it helped my daughter ,now I'm pleased she is not still there.
Not all kids learn pen to paper, these kids need social skills, long term skills like shopping cooking etc
My nephew attends and this school should be running appropriately yes I agree there should be MALE role models all children need that and also play equipment school has only just gone back so why was this not done in the school holidays is beyond me !! And from what I hear there is little or no proper teacher supervision when children are able to play rough and things like shirts are getting destroyed from this hence if proper supervision this may prevent parents constantly having to purchase new shirts at their cost should be at the schools cost if they cannot supervise the children appropriately .. I mean I understand these children have disabilities so you would think the supervision would be more so than your average school for medical / behaviour problems that may arise !!! Come on if you want to be called a principle start BLOODY acting like one and do the job you have been hired to do !!!!!
You are obviously a parent at this school as I am. My daughter has attended this school for over 7 years. I have seen The school grow and the last year has been a very big learning curve for both students,teachers and carers. This school has finally started teaching our children instead of babysitting. As a parent I believe all our children have the abilty to learn and we should be giving them the best opportunity to achieve their best. If you want to spend time in your child's classroom feel free to ask. I'm sure your input would be taken on board.
Over asking her the questions the answers aren't good enough to me
Brett may I ask who u r? Funny to c u very arguementive and seriously GET OFF MY PETITION I DONT HAVE TIME TO BE BOTHERED ANYMORE ITS IN RITE HANDS NOW TO BE SORTED OUT ALSO PITTY I STARTED THIS A FEW INSIDE INFOS BUT WONT MENTION NAMES, also how ridiculous is it that most teachers have had to do training and certs to get these qualifications these last 2 Wks so they can actually look after the kids that r now in their classes eg. Feeding tubes etc
Check your facts first. There are 4 guys on staff. Go to the p and c meeting. U will find out what's going on. The new playground is on hold as some parts weren't available until March. Please don't rubbish the school with only YOUR facts.

my daughter went to the special school for 6 years. she is now 24 but we sold our farm and had to turn our lives around to move to the bay so she could attend the school. it was marvelous for her. the principal at the time was amazing as were the teachers and aides but I believe since he left that the school is not the same. real shame. hope you can get some satisfaction from education department.
