    Fun place to work but still need lots of improvement.
    The good thingsStaff and teachers are friendly. There are some very supportive staff/ teachers that are cooperative and love to help out. If you like interacting with people, you will find this work enjoyable. The school atmosphere has a sense of joy and humour.
    The challengesTeam work between other departments not encouraged. Management not particularly supportive, understanding nor listens to staff’s opinions yet staff are still expected to deal and settle critical issues on our own. Hierarchy is a mess as anyone and everyone can be our boss. Therefore beware of extra workload that may be out of your job scope.

    Exploitation of Teachers and Students
    The good thingsThe Facilities for Students.
    The challengesThe pay is very low for the majority of teachers although they charge the earth.
