    "Opportunities can feel limited"

    As a current student, it is difficult to ignore the growing concerns surrounding Aurora College. While every school has its challenges, Aurora often feels less like a place designed to inspire learning and more like an environment where simply making it through the day is considered an achievement. The campus gives the impression that maintaining order is a constant struggle, with behaviour issues often overshadowing education and leaving students feeling that safety and respect are not always p...

    I do not recommend going here

    The school is trash, there is literal TRASH everywhere outside. Most students at this school vape or smoke, its full of rude people. When a fight occurs the teacher do not do shit, or they do something and it don't even stop the god damn fight. Service Academy is bad, When there was two year eights talking, insulting each other for fun as a joke. One of the people from the service academy went up to them and I see one of the year eight's getting shoved lots and yelled at. Then one of the year e...

    PLEASE.

    DO. NOT. SEND. YOUR. CHILDREN. HERE. As a former student, I've seen some BS. I was tormented for a whole year because I'm not an effing hoodrat. They'd kick balls at my head in P.E, they'd follow me around calling me names, they'd steal my things and go through my bag. The teachers did jack eff about it. At one point, my friend and I, two year 9 girls, had to be barricaded into the classroom by a reliever teacher, while a whole maybe three classrooms of seniors were stood outside the door tryi...

    It's not that bad

    Just your average school, It's not the worst, So that means it's good enough. There's a balance on the good and bad things in this school so it wasn't really that great but it wasn't that bad either.

    aurora is a school where you get accepted for being who you want to be, and for who you are. So many people have came out bi/lesbian/pans/gay. Aurora has a bad reputation because we're known for fights smoking, vaping and etc even though there's plenty of other schools that do the same. To me aurora is like family we're there for each other, we build confidence. Strangers or not strangers you could go up to another and have a really nice conversation/ also ask them for something like food or a smoke I love aurora and theres nothing wrong with our school

    Love it

    It gets a bad rap by people who haven’t been their themselves because it’s one of the only schools that take in the kids that get kicked out of other schools but It’s a great school if your willing to learn, and you get highly rewarded by success. There’s free lunches, free stationary and books and cheap uniforms and free smiles ?. Highly recommended
