There are lots of opportunities at Newton South, wether that be class choice, class level, sports, arts, or music. Newton North does have a better facility, but the quality of student life seems to be the same. I enjoyed my experience, as did my siblings and friends.

Actually disgraceful. Some teachers are good, and they care. But there seems to be no rules for how many days teac...
