I’ve heard from a few different sources that around 20 years ago, the Department of Education in the Hunter held a large meeting where it was decided that all the ‘problem’ teachers in the region would be sent to Merewether, because the student cohort at Merewether was bright, so they were probably going to do okay regardless of teacher quality. So teachers who had significant difficulties with classroom control or student misbehaviour were funnelled towards this school for at least 2 decades. My child finished in 2020, and maybe the new Principal there has made a difference, but I can’t know. It was an appalling school in terms of actually getting educated, but great at insisting that kids comply with mindless bureaucracy. The image of a boot stamping on a human face, forever, is what mainly comes to mind for us now in remembering the place. My child was lucky. We know of one student with an IQ of 150+ who stuck it out for the HSC, did brilliantly, but then left, and hasn’t done anything else since because the experience was so traumatic. If you have a genuinely gifted child – I’m thinking IQ 120 and above, with special skills or talents in some areas and deficits in others – run a mile, because this school is only after bland and rigid conformity, and they will punish anything else.
