    Inappropriate behaviour from staff.

    There are two very rude office lady’s, Mary and Linda. From what I’ve heard from multiple students, that they are disrespectful and arrogant, mock and make fun of students. That ask for simple requests such as going home due to personal reasons, asking for pain killers and issues with bathrooms. This makes students restrain from asking for what they need at school. This should not be tolerated and should be sorted out immediately. I understand the job may not be easy for them but they shouldn’t be bulling students. PSA I have put the review at 4 so it won’t be locked, but I’d rate it a 1.

    Positive Learning Environment

    Found the College to be very supportive and helpful. Had flexibility, a great choice of subjects and took matters brought to their attention seriously. My kids had a positive experience.

    It was okay. Seems better nowadays

    I started in 2001 and left in 2005, before the huge renovations. It was a good school. Year 9's and 10's were feral, but I don't think that's changed. Kids can be awful at that age. Good teachers but not a lot of classes to choose from. Looks like that's changed now though. Was fantastic that PE wasn't compulsory anymore in year 11, don't know if it's still the same. I had a few good friends there at the time.

    Highly Recommend

    I've been to three high schools and this was by far the best. The teachers were kind and understanding, the classes are varied and you can choose particular classes. The set up of the school is very nice, and overall had a great experience there and definitely shaped part of my worldview.

    Da bomb

    Left in 2018 but this school is da bomb. It shaped who I am and I would’ve been completely different if I’d gone elsewhere

    Amzing

    Amazing, I love my teachers but the year 9s to 10s are quite toxic people but some aren’t
