Reviews | By Parent - 29 Apr 2016, Rate: average | As a parent in 2016, most of the above comments still ring true. There is a big problem if in all this time the same with little improvement is still a occuring. I agree the primary school is much better than the high school. Academic, sporting and general school culture is poor in the high school. Perhaps there needs to be some long term staff moved on. And some more emphasis on personal achievement to the best of the child's ability. Rather than continuing with the current mediocre culture and teaching. Does anyone dare to Change. Good facilities with a great potential, just does not strive to improve or excel. | | By Parent - 22 May 2009, Rate: average | We have found the school staff to be very friendly, but excepting a few notable exceptions to be low in proficiency and at times very poor. The academic standards for primary are good but for high school very poor. The discipline leaves much to be desired with a girl who was expelled from five previous schools and involved in a serious mobile phone bullying incident last year, the present school captain. Primary school play time facilities are very poor, with only the pre-kinder to year two allowed on any play equipment and the rest of the years left to fight over a few balls on a sports field. No library facilities during lunches, no canteen at present (again), and consistent favouritism towards Seventh Day Adventist children in all areas especially performing arts and discipline issues. | |
