One of the best schools in norwest.No Dogy parents..This school should be offered an OZ class..

By Parent - 26 May 2016, Rate: poor

Year 6 teachers are quite lazy. They don't teach any thing. Last year year 5 teachers didn't encourage them to or push them to try for selective. Lot of encouragement and preparation should come from teachers.

Some of the teachers for the higher years can be rude and inconsiderate. In fact, quite lazy at times. They may not put in any extra effort for your child until you push them. Yes, effort needs to be put in at home, but sometimes it feels like the 6 hours they spend in school, is used only to INTRODUCE them to important topics. How the children learn to REMEMBER or APPLY what they've learnt, seems to be ENTIRELY up to parents. Although I would love to spend 6 hours and much more of a day with my child, as a full-time working parent it sometimes becomes difficult to find the time to go through everything at home. TEACHERS need to become more creative with their methods of teaching IN CLASS, so ALL children, of ALL capabilities are able to learn and grow with POSITIVE memories of their primary education.
