By Student - 27 Jul 2023, Rate: bad

Just too overpriced for your children to not learn well and get bullied. Overall waste of money.

I hate this school

By Student - 08 Jun 2023, Rate: average

this school is great, its just the students that make it bad/not fun. people say its the teachers but most of those people speak of current experiences, its not the teachers its the students.

This is the best school I've ever went to I love this school I wish I was back to year reception to start the relationship with this school. ever since I came to this school my parents were always proud of me. I hope every child comes to this school and plus the teachers there were the best and I always wish I was a kid again to experience all the fun events like St Columba day, sports day and also there is so many fun things! There is so many equipment's for us to use to learn and students get to go to camp and in year 5 you get to experience Ballarat and its so much fun going there. teachers are really kind to the students.

As previously mentioned above, the principal and leadership are useless and do alot of covering up. The previous principal might have done the school dirty, but at least she was professional and polite. That school has suffered dearly at tje hands of the current principal. Not only are parents getting their kids out, majority of the staff can't wait to get out and openly tell their students this. Past teachers say it was the best decision made leaving there. You would be surprised at the awful behaviour by staff being covered up. They got rid of one...how many are left there? Scary thought hey!!

Most of the girls in my class wear way to much makeup and hoop earrings and don't get in trouble, but when I wear just the littlest amount of makeup and hoops I get in trouble

Former employee. Awful staff culture that does not promote early career teachers seeking support or climbing in any way. Wrongly accused of misconduct and was nudged out of Catholic Ed due to reference checks referencing this issue. Not the first staff member forced out of school for illegitimate reasons. Will never return here under any circumstances.

The rules there aren’t followed and also the student there are bullies. If your short you will probably get teased!!

Why do all the english teachers leave?

By Employee - 21 Sep 2021, Rate: bad

Completely agree with the August 2021 review. I have participated in about 100 feedback sessions/surveys during my time at the school! Feedback is asked for from staff but never taken on board by leadership. It’s becoming a bit of an ongoing joke amongst staff now. Most staff have even left or trying to get out.

By Employee - 21 Aug 2021, Rate: bad

No sharing of pedagogy or focus on teacher improvement
Horrendous leadership
Feedback requested but never considered
Low academic and behaviour standards for students

The review above was definitely from 2007. Bullies (not talking students, but teachers and leaders.)

By Current Pupil - 10 Dec 2007, Rate: good

It has been a WONDERFUL experience, everything I have learnt over the years and will take with me into the future is thanks to this wonderful school. The students are great, and the teachers are willing to listen to anything, school, problems, work, out of school life, they are the best!!
The facilities are fantastic, currently, 5 ICT labs, 4 Science labs, equiped with 'Smart Boards' or 'interactive boards'.
A music suite, and many GLA's (Class rooms).
Overall, my experience at this school was the best time and you can meet some of the nicest and kindest people there. :)
