| Reviews | | By Alumnus - 11 Oct 2024, Rate: average | | Like many schools, teaching was mixed if you weren’t in the top classes. Had some first rate academic results but not everyone did well. There was a significant immaturity factor amongst a minority of students that showed up in bad behaviour, the sort of physical and verbal teasing that disappears once you grow up. The teachers were professional and dedicated. However, religiosity permeated the whole school even though most of the students were not regular churchgoers. In hindsight, a more grown up, less religious environment, might work better in the long run. When combined with the all-boys setting, and a conservative parent group, the school is a very traditional institution. As a parent, it’s just the place to send a young boy in 5th grade if that’s the sort of school you want. | | | By Student - 09 Jan 2021, Rate: good | | I started schooling at pius in year 6, 2012 and graduated in 2018 and I believe the school is a great place for quality education. Although I was not a high achiever or major book worm, I saw that the teachers really helped those students who are really struggling and to those who put in 110% to help them get their highest marks. The teachers will ignore and ridicule students who are disruptive and don’t care about their education which was usually funny to watch unfold in classes. Bullying at pius was a bit of a problem and the culture evolved in later years I found where it would become less direct (not physical or name calling to your face) and would become more of a “taking the piss” out of someone whether that be online or in group situations. There were popular groups in my grade who were funny blokes but had the tendency to sometimes take the piss out of people too hard and bullied them without maybe realising their jokes weren’t as funny as they seemed. Altogether though most of the boys at pius are great and will be potentially life long mates. Any issues arising from bullying or teacher issues are dealt with very well by mr couani the principal who I admired a lot. A creepy substitute teacher once made some inappropriate comments and actions against some students and myself in class and as soon as I reported it he was fired for misconduct. | | | By Student - 07 Dec 2019, Rate: excellent | | This school has been a great asset to my life, if you are considering sending your son to this school I would highly recommend it. It has a very inclusive community and a very understanding one two. | | | >>More reviews... | |
