Teachers don't teach. Students are rude.

subpar teaching, students rude

By Student - 07 Dec 2023, 评价: 一般

Im currently at Plc Melbourne and in primary school i was social and a good student but since coming here i have found it increasingly hard to conect with my peers and classmates as everyone is really closed off or quite rude. I will say this is an exelent school if your daughter is looking for an accademic challenge but not so much if she wants to make friends or feel like she belongs somewhere.

Im an ex student here and i have to say that this school is probably the worst school ive ever been to. vast majority of girls are incredibly rude/competitive, teachers are horrifically power abusers and even though theyre (a lot of the time) academically focused, they definitely care more about your appearance/uniform than your educational outcome! very displeased. only a handful of teachers and girls are genuinely nice here. please think twice before sending your girls and little ones here, extremely disappointed beyond belief. 1/10.

Too academic focused and you only see Asians there. Lots of students are from China and the parent group talks about tutoring, how good their daughters are…etc, very toxic. I wouldn’t send my daughter there.

only reason that i came to this school is because of how big and 'good' the facilities are here. but seriously, don't trust the surface but look deep down at what is going on inside the school.
I was a boarder and student at PLC before, so I completely know how the school is. Teachers here are mostly fine but some of them didn't even know how to teach well. Not responsible for their teaching. That's why the ATAR recent years has dropped so much.
The worst thing is the boarding house, the head of boarding never considers any of your comments just runs things the way she likes it to be. Very stubborn, strict rules, and tells anything to you at the last minute ALWAYS when you have plans already. Felt like i was in a prison when i was a boarder here.
So, please don't go here and study. Other schools may even be better than this.

Great school! I love everything about it. I definitely recommend sending your daughter to PLC!

A good school but very focus on academic. That’s why you see so many Asian students and makes you wonder - are we in Australia or in Asia? There was one school swimming event I went to and next to my daughter’s school was PLC. Full of Asians only. Simply amazing.

there are pros and cons to PLC.
it heavily depends on the student and their personality and how they will react in an environment like PLC.
PLC is a centre for thriving girls, stars not only in the classroom but in the music room and sports fields too.
Many students may be disheartened and feel like a small fish when they come here, thus spending the rest of their time feeling less worthy and giving up on trying new opportunities and activities.
But others, like me, may be inspired by the talent and work ethic of their peers and work harder.
PLC is unique in that it is one of the top performing academic schools, but at the same time it does not fall behind in any other field. The value music and drama has is evident through the investment in the performing arts centre, I also highly recommend any PLC performance you may be able to attend - safe to say you will be humbled. Sport, which is an area that has been overlooked for a few years, or perhaps even seen as a tradeoff for the high academic scores, is also being re-invested in. Sure, there are no girls on sports scholarships or consistent national/state champions. But, there are girls with a variety of talents and strengths and PLC caters to it. There is a plethora of sports offered and students are not missing out on anything compared to a more sports achieving GSV school - We have a rowing program which many other GSV schools do not!
In many ways I wonder what I may have been like if I went to another school - would I be less academic? More cliquey? - but I love the person I am now and am grateful for the opportunities that I have had at PLC which other schools genuinely may never have been able to provide for me.

I have been in this school since year 7 and the teachers here are very inadequate in their teaching abilities. Almost everyone needs to go to tutoring because most of the teachers don’t teach. The school only focuses on IB and VCE students get very bad teachers. Don’t come if you want to do VCE.

Overall, this is not a great environment to teach in. I have taught English at PLC for several years now. Teachers are not very welcoming, the students are overly competitive, and they are overly invested in their studies. School isn't everything. Sports and the health (mental and physical) of the students is overlooked.

PLC is probably my daughter’s favourite school she’s gone to so far. They have wonderful facilities and a friendly atmosphere. Their academic results are amazing. I’d really recommend this school.

Too focused on academics. Kids and parents are all trying to outshine one another. Teachers are sub par as all most all the students get tutoring. Students are selfish and self centred. I am glad that I took my daughter out of this school. There’s a lot of competition among students and parents. You feel like you’re studying in China!!

My daughter went into this school when she was in year 7 and now she is in year 11. She has improved tremendously in her works and attitude. I would never dream of sending her to other schools. This school has the best facilities that any private school can offer. If you want your daughter to have a good career in the future I would think PLC would be the place to set your foundation.

My daughter had her heart set on this school. I was taken out of action in unforeseen circumstances (stuck in the middle of nowhere with coronavirus paranoia). I tried to explain this to the Admissions Office, but all I got was a Holier Than Thou sanctimonious response about I should have planned for it and one devastated student who has done so well she had even been in the newspapers who now thinks she is worthless. I think she has dodged a bullet but she is crying herself to sleep. Thanks PLC Victoria. I am happy not to hide behind anonymity here DR LIAM BASTICK.

Excellent school if your daughter wants to become a lawyer/doctor/engineer etc and for her to learn in a safe/inclusive enviornment. Not so great if you want her to have strong mental health or social skills.

Terrible school. Even the most academic child can lose their love and enthusiasm for learning and school at this place. Terrible environment.

By Alumnus - 31 Aug 2019, 评价: 一般

Perhaps parents should stop making snap judgements about the atmosphere - and making sweeping statements about the personalities of the student body (?!) - of a school that they themselves were not immersed in. A two-dimensional snapshot offers nothing beyond one angle at one moment in time. It invites snap judgements and assumptions that greatly reduce the complexity of a high school culture which took me fourteen full years locked in the gates of PLC to understand, and which I found toxic and scarring - and not because it was 'too academic' as far too many assume.

I went for an interview for my daughter today. I’ve already gone to another school for an interview but I must say PLC is impressive! I will definitely pick this school over the other school as we felt welcomed and can see all the teachers and staff are very dedicated to the children and work.

I was at PLC from Grade 3 through to Year 12. Amazing school, resources and teachers. Highly Recommend.

By Parent - 15 May 2018, 评价: 很差

This school is focused on short term results and focuses on rote learning to the exclusion of all else. The children are highly stressed as the demographic at the school puts a lot of pressure on children. Children go from school to tutoring and don’t have any personalities.

One of the best private school with amazing facilities and very modern buildings that provide the best for my daughter.
My daughter has improved a lot on her studies since studying in PLC. It is a very expensive school but it is worth it as the students there are great and totally not snobbish.

When I attended PLC I felt like this was my home. I've never felt like I belonged more. Everybody is friendly, the teachers are so encouraging, the facilities are astounding and the curriculum is challenging and great. I love this school and I miss it terribly.

PLC is a wonderful school. The atmosphere is always friendly, there are superb facilities and there are so many opportunities for you. We always learn so much each day. Year after year PLC achieves excellent results. Not only that, the teachers at PLC treat us students as unique, important individuals, and they always inspire us and bring the best out of us. PLC is a brilliant school, and I strongly recommend it to you.
