This is the second time I have experienced the government pulling the plug on a school with only a few weeks before the end of the school year, leaving families in the lurch. Not to mention the bizarre reasons given for rejecting the schools' proposals.

Perhaps the only school that I've been to that could even remotely claim to be near 100% bullying free. Damn thing was a haven for intellectual students. Pity it went completely downhill after the first two years. Schools like this always start with high hopes, but they don't last long.
