This new vice principal has taken away all our new mufti days , she hasn’t even been at the school for a full term and she is already making unfair rules. Please don’t take your daughter to Cerdon College.

do not take ur daughter to Cerdon.its for her and ur own good,This school will not stop ringing up my mum telling her the most unnecessary stuff saying ur child is this and that which is annoying and one of the coordinators said to me that I needed a counseler practically saying I have ‘problems’ and that touched me so much that I self diagnosed myself with ADHD.The teachers verbally abuse students saying we have attitude if we break eye contact when they’re staring into my eyes.One of the teachers said to my friend that they’re dumb and need help .How rude. If u get in trouble one time all the teachers conjoin to take u down and every little thing u do is an infringement (its like a warning and when u get three u get a detention) these teachers word have really affected my mental health especially the old blonde ladys like Ms tasioulas .Though some teachers are really nice like Mrs Meduri who really deserves a raise .And Ms lacey. she’s literally rude and got me in trouble for having my hair when I was trying to fix it.And there some teachers r pedos like Mr velenti and Mr woefl .Mr velenti touches ur arm without consent and u can literally feel his face touching urs cos of how close he is.and Mr woefl was staring at a students butt and was caught lacking and ms tasioulas is the rudest teacher and is js rude she disrespects students expecting respect back…and The new assistant principal thinks she’s all that.The principal and the assistant principal have taken our harmony day and every other mufti day .The principal is driving around in a ‘BMW’ and I mean clearly we know where the money our parents pay for this school is going and I mean no wonder our school is needing repair cos the moneys going to that Karen looking thing anyways enough bout the teachers, The students r also bad.Students here always want to bash each other and start unnecessary beef like parents get ur kids in check thinking their all that and this isn’t aimed I’m talking bout all the students such as myself cos I know I’m a bit of a bitch too ,One student that goes to our school is Gay/transgender and is in yr 11 makes everyone uncomfortable she also raped a girl in yr 10 last year giving this poor girl trauma .the girl that was raped reported it to the school and they did absolutely nothing after they reported tot the police and also nothing happened this school needs a proper response student and help abused students .Another bad thing is that coordinators r taking stuff off us such as ‘fun’ days and mufti days and even locked up a couple of bathrooms cos apparently it was vandelised which is a lie cos I go bathroom a lot :).over all I do not recommend this school to take ur daughter maybe take her to Merrylands .

This school is so shit don’t send your kids here. This new assistant principle only got here this year and is already canceling shit like she’s privileged. This bitch just got here and is already making her own rules.she has canceled so many of our mufti day including harmony day. Harmony day is the one day a year we get to express and let others know about cultures. Don’t send your kid here this school is so shit.

cerdon college care so much about what we wear that it’s gotten to the point that our new assistant principal mrs armao who’s been here for 7 weeks have canceled most mufti days including harmony day. The principal and staff have not done shit and it looks like der afraid of her like she’s a big mighty beast. she expects us just to wear an orange ribbon and not wanna celebrate and showcase our diverse cultures. mrs armao she’s always unhappy she never smiles apparently she’s depressed :0

The teachers care more about if I’m wearing a bracket than my own leading and education. And this teacher has been touching girls on their shoulders and arms in a very weird way and that’s just messed up don’t send your daughters here.

My child has told me many bad things that have happened at this school, as a parent I stand by my child and believe her and the things that she has to say. Teachers in this school are unacceptable with their behaviour and are rude and disrespectful, they insult the children for any reason they think for and don’t deserve the kid’s respect. As a parent I think that our money that we are putting into this school is not being worth the amounts we’re giving.

There are maggots in the school ground, racism around the school, hypocrites and teachers never let students be independent. We are always forced to do things we don’t want to for example swimming. Students have medical reasons to not swim and infringements are still given out. What other proof do you teachers want ??

Once a teacher insulted a student and told them they couldn’t were there cultural bracelet, the student said it’s cultural and the teacher screamed at her blackmailing that she will cut of the bracelet and to take of that rubbish, that teacher had ten gold bracelets on each wrist. The teachers here are hypocrites.

A teacher grabbed a student’s neck and told the child to move schools and not go to court about it. This needs to be reported immediately.

This school does not care about your child’s health or feelings. They care about your uniform and don’t care if you feel sick , please do not send your daughter here. The girls at this school all they care about are boys and socials. Send your kid to a school with boys and girls to make it easier for them to socialise when they’re older.

Cerdon gives students infringements for stupid reasons. All they care about is your uniform, I got an infringement for wearing my sport uniform on the wrong day.

the new principal at this school has ruined many traditions at the school and has ruined any student’s impressions for their schooling years. i don’t suggest bringing your daughters to this school unless the principal is gone.

Cerdon is a GREAT school providing many opportunities to people who are determined to find them. There are, however a few teachers that are not considerate with the amount the work they give. Even though there are not many of them, I don’t not see the amount of work being given as necessary. The school however in every other field is absolutely the greatest. One concern a lot of people have been having is about the English department being “slow” I don’t think this is the case as they have almost 100 papers full of words to mark. They always give valid feedback, and help you improve. It is the perfect place to send your child if they are determined enough, this may be the best school for them.

Cerdon College is an excellent academic institution that provides young women a safe and nourishing space to grow their talents, excel academically and also make lifelong friends.
I particularly loved being an Advanced English student and my teacher was always encouraging; providing the guidance and feedback I required especially in my HSC year.
Despite the heavy load that most teachers carry, my English teachers still went out of their way to answer my questions and address any concerns that I had in relation to the pieces I was preparing for my HSC.
I believe that the teachers at Cerdon are professional, well-trained in trained in their profession and have always strived to give their best for the benefit of their students.

The english department is more useless than the plays of Shakespeare. As year 12's, you'd think that the teachers would be willing to help especially since it has already been very hard for us due to lockdown. But some teachers still have the audacity TO SHOW ATTITUDE and not give feedback on anything we've sent. This is beyond unacceptable and I just want to warn future year 12's to go get yourselves a tutor because the english department is only useful if you want to fail. If they're not willing to help year 12's a month before HSC, then you can only imagine how useless they are overall.
As an overwhelmed Year 12 student, I speak on behalf of the Advanced English cohort. PLEASE REMIND THEM OF THEIR JOB. I beg.

I go here, and the teachers claim that they care and take into consideration students mental health, but they just care about the homework being handed in. The school counselor should be supportive and make you feel good about yourself, but she makes you feel stiff, and it makes you feel worse. Although, some teachers I've had were excellent, and shouldn't be here.

Pre good school, although some of the staff is very strict and give a lot of work. The uniform is pretty good through the summer uniform is very plain but I love the sports uniform very breathable. The workload is manageable if you are well organised and don't get distracted. BUT the only thing I hate about this school is their sports field. It's so small compared to Patrician Brothers Fairfield.

Cerdon is not a good school, the teachers often don’t even care about the students perspective and keep piling work and don’t care about how much stress that they give, but this only applies to most of the teachers as there are nice ones.

The uniforms are so damn expensive and so are the fees. Not worth it cause this school is HORRIBLE. They don’t offer what is worth for how much money is being paid. Bad school, bad opportunities, bad resources, bad students.

Cerdon is a great school with its main focus being educating and naturing young woman. I've always found the staff accessible, informed and caring. If people are feeling they are better and classier than others please feel free to go to OLMC.

This school interns of academic is extremely high. I recommend this school to so many of my friends and most of them moved here and said themselves that this school is just absolutely wonderful in terms of uniform, school buildings/environment and people.

Before joining this school, Cerdon had a pretty decent reputation but the academic standards have dropped. Terrible environment with even mediocre teachers, wouldn't recommend anymore. Unsupportive and rude staff and even worse cohort who don't even care about academics. Sad to see how quickly the school has dropped in terms of well, everything.I wouldn't recommend this school at all if you want your daughter to be in a nurturing and academic environment. Most of this has been told to me by my disgruntled daughter and by my own observations.

Cerdon College is the premier Catholic all girls school in the region. When we decided to send our daughters to the College, there were a number of options available, including two Catholic All girls schools. Cerdon stood out at the time and had a fantastic reputation. Now both of our daughters have finished year 12, our decision was vindicated, with receiving fantastic marks and her peer likewise achieving highly. By sending to a non independent Catholic school, the girls not only achieved great results, but we also saved thousands of $$!! Thank you Cerdon!
