St Bernard's College

This school has filled up with hood rats over the years. It makes teachers jobs really hard. I always felt anxious at school all day because of the behaviour in classes. It’s so bad. My brother left in 2018 and it’s gone down hill from there. There is a lot of vaping and bullying. I left for another school in year 10. Lots of rough kids from bad backgrounds make it not a very nice place to go each day. Way better options out there.

Better than average teaching, worse than expected culture. For a school so insistent on "brotherhood", there is always an ingroup and an obvious outgroup, which is almost exclusively made up of vulnerable people, including LGBTQ+ students and those with physical or mental disabilities. The teachers are pleasant people and honestly, most of the boys are too, but if you end up on the wrong side of that fence, they are ruthless in their bullying. This behaviour lessens with age, with it being nearly nonexistent at Year 13, but still present in whispers behind backs. If you put in the work, this school will take you far, but the attitudes at all ages are very juvenile and you must be prepared to face physical or emotional bullying, because no one is really safe. Counselling exists at the school, which is good, but only serves to combat the symptoms of a deeper problem within the school. Of course, if you are inside the ingroup, you will face no trouble.

There's a lot of bullying and fights i personally have had a lot of bad run ins with teachers because of things i haven't done the classes are terrible and there's is only 2 languages

At first was quite strict and odd but now it's really fun and enjoyable and I really like learning there

It is very great for learning and the boys there all help and respect each other and the teachers there are all very nice and friendly to the family and the boys. The college community is great and it helps out with stuff.
