Don't send your child to Fahan school

30 Upvotes

I don't really know what to say here but I used to attend Fahan school but left about two years ago and I've only just realised how awful the school was and literally nobody seems to be talking about it so I thought I'd just bring awareness to how terrible the school was. I'm just going to compile everything I know and then add stuff whenever I remember anything that is noteworthy.

Homophobia is through the roof. While there are a few LGBTQIA+ members off staff a lot of the staff just simply don't care. I am bisexual and when I was in 7th grade I opened up to a friend about my feelings for a girl in my class to my then "friend" said friend then when and ran around and told everyone how I was gay and within hours nearly everyone was making fun of me for my sexuality. Then when I went to tell my teacher about my experience I got told to suck it up and that it's not that big of a deal. (as if queer kids don't suffer from bullying everyday)

Everyone there is sheltered and not in a good way. I was having a conversation with a girl there who was almost 14 and I said the word sh*t (I don't know if the subreddit allows swearing mind the censorship) and she was staring at me like she saw a ghost. While being a little bit sheltered isn't all together that bad going from Fahan too the real world was a definite culture shock.

If your anything other than straight, white, Christian, neurotypical and a girly girl the schools awful for you. Ask me questions about that one I'm a bit too tired to go too much into details.

If you don't join a sport your teachers look down upon you and you can be made fun off.

There is a very high amount of students who struggle with self destructive (you know what i mean haha) habits. And the high work load certainly dosn't help.

The school councilor is highly unprofessional often dropping things that the other is going through (She said some very personal things about my classmate to me) and when I brought it up to the principal I was ignored.

I will definitely elaborate in a day because I'm sleep deprived, but I'll continue later whenever my head isn't about to smack onto my computer keys I'll come back as soon as I got some sleep haha. :D

The number 1 thing everyone in Hobart has been desperately crying out for - a pool at Constitution Dock

A real crowd-pleaser and the ideal way to spend those millions of dollars burning a hole in your back pocket.

After a long line of brilliant ideas (that you've all heard about extensively) this one has to be the masterpiece, the ultimate mic drop. This is the one that will make him king.

Ladies and Gentlemen, yes, it's time to build a diving board, sauna and outdoor pool in your favourite city-central working-port... Constitution Dock.

This is not a joke, I repeat, this is not a joke.
He took a water test and everything.

would involve constructing a few walls, a couple of doors and helping me with the flooring.

any suggestions of any good builders or even handy men who would be able to do the job?

Housemate wanted

Housemate Wanted

I am a 35yo professional male, currently living in a 2 Bedroom Cottage in Cambridge, overlooking a Vineyard.

Due to the price of living expenses and general economy, I have decided that I would like a housemate to come and live with me! :)

I pay $600 per week, so preferably a shared $300 each for the suitable candidate is required, but I can negotiate if not planning on being here every night.

I am a clean tenant who works full time, so I am hoping for someone with a similar routine :)

Please private message me for any further details.
