Bullied girl hits out at school | Sunshine Coast News | Local News in Sunshine Coast
A YEAR 11 Coolum State High student claims the school’s response to her being bullied and threatened by classmates – including on Facebook – was to suggest that she pretend to be suspended.
Savannah Love, 16, has described the school’s treatment of her as “disgusting” and says she now has no respect for teachers.
While the brave Coolum Beach teen claimed that a senior teacher told her to act suspended for the final two weeks of the school year when she revealed the bullying and threats to him on November 12, she said the offending girls went unpunished.
The senior teacher told her that she could come to school do her remaining exams, but suggested she do them in seclusion, the student claimed.
She also alleged that she showed three senior teachers, including the school’s principal Lee Goossens, printouts of threats made against her on the Facebook of one of the bullies and still they did nothing.
Savannah, who described herself as a good student, said the group of about five girls had been severely bullying her since she returned to school after the September holidays .
Having blocked the bullies’ attempts to gain access to her Facebook, she said they posted the threatening comments knowing that one of her friends would see them.
