Teacher satisfaction has halved and student morale has dropped a year after two high schools merged under a "super school" model that was intended to improve choice but has instead left staff well-being at an "all-time low".
The controversial merger was initiated by then-education minister and local member Adrian Piccoli in 2016. Under the new model, one executive principal works across the two campuses, which are four kilometres apart. Local member Helen Dalton, a former teacher, is calling for an extra principal to be installed at each site. She said the merger had been a "disaster" and proposed benefits, including more subject choices, had "not materialised".
More than half of teachers reported being satisfied with their role at the school before the merger, but this dropped to 23.8 per cent last year. The Australian average is 81.9 per cent.
