i went to a school like that for a short while years ago. it was dead set run by feminists. school colours were purple, jade and white (the same as that for international womens day) and there were two adult males in the whole school, one being the gardener. it was a complete joke when for international womens day all the girls got to go on an excursion, and the boys got to stay back and make a banner supporting international womens day. (and of course no corresponding excursion for boys only...)
they actually suggested to my mum that i must have mental problems when i started complaining about not being taught anything at the school, they had me in a reception to year 7 class and all the teacher did was get the older kids to teach the younger ones!! (it wasnt a rural school either, metro area 25 mins from the cbd, and they had more than one class like that!)
not sure what it is like now but i really hope it has been sorted out now for the next generations sake!
