301. Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School, Australia

The Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School was founded in 1939. It is located in Calala, New South Wales, Australia. In 2018 there was about 580 students.

At the school a “sack” system where older students were given too much power too soon resulted in massive punishment and bullying of smaller students.

Corporal punishment became the norm.

The school administration didn’t bother.

It is safe to state that it wasn’t fun to be a teenager at this school.
