Please, please, please, yet one more please do not send you child to this hell hole!
I was a student at this school from Yr K to Yr 6.The teachers are horrible. They blow whistles in classrooms and are rude to students. My teacher swore in my Yr 4 class at someone who didn't bring in their homework. The principal was so bad that every day when I came back from school, I got a stomach ache. Yes, I did learn some useful stuff but I learnt more about the teacher's stupidity than educational skills. I attended after school care and I got food poisoning! They don't even wash their bowls and give you out of date food. When one kid would do something wrong, all the boys got in trouble. My friend got sad about how his teacher was being mean to him and then the principal came and said it was my fault! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not send your child to this school no matter what. Find another public school instead.

Don’t go to this school!!
I was at this school through all of my primary years and my time as a student was horrific ever since the current principle came in. This school has done the bare minimum to prepare me for highschool I can read and write but had to get a tutor as some teachers do not push students to their full ability or even look over and review gaps in a students knowledge. In my final year of school in year 6 many appliances were broken or old and many classrooms smelled odd or had a
mould problem. The teachers are frequently biased towards younger years and if you are in year 6 suddenly everything is your fault even if a younger year was miss behaving. Although I hated the majority of my time at this school it builds character and resilience because of the plethora of events among the students and how the teachers treat the students, in year 6 I was having issues with a girl and she was always sucking up to our teacher this girl made me cry almost daily because of the stress she caused me and at the end of the year she got the citizenship award (kindness) and the teacher was aware of how she was treating me. If you want to send your kids to this school pull them out before they start stage 3 because those were the worst years of my time there.

The only good thing about this school is that it makes you want to go to high-school to get out of this awful place if you want to be constantly stressed out by teachers go to this school

This school used to be good but after the new principal came she ruined it and her methods of discipline are outdated once she yelled at all the boys from k-6 when there was poo smeared on the boys bathroom the kindys looked terrorfied and upset.Her methods have made pretty much the whole school terrified of her and she threatened to cancel one of the only year 5 and 6 excursions because of one students actions.most teacher are biased towards the younger year if there is a composite and the year sixes are blamed for everything.I believe this school would be great if it had a different principal

I am currently going to this school and have been here from kindy to year 6. At the beginning I liked this school but now i really hate this school. It has all been good until a new principal came in. She is the most stupid principal that any school could have. She has banned so many things from the school like tucking up your sleeves when you have winter uniform on. Another thing about this school that is horrible is the teachers. I’m not saying all of them are terrible but about half of them are. I have had three years where I had teachers which were bad. This was in year 2, 3, and 5. In conclusion NEVER send your child to this school or they will end up hating school.

Came here for a few months, then left. Teachers are biased and instantly got me in trouble when I stood near a crying girl. When called to principal with my parents, principal avoided the situation and insisted it was my fault. Do not go to this school.

Hi, I'm a former student of this trashy school. My friends got in trouble for hypnotising someone and now she is traumatised and has social issues now due to her PTSD. Never go here

I was in GEPS from year 1 to Year 6. In year three however, I was involved in some drama with another girl. One afternoon, a teacher put most of the kids on one class, and me, the other girl and two unrelated others. They then proceeded to tell us that we were the mean ones and that everyone else was nice. In a spur of the moment decision, I went over to the other girl I was involved with, who was now crying, and started to comfort her. The teacher asked what I was doing and looked at me with disgust. This was completely out of line for a teacher to do and took a profound effect on me and I was scared and cautious all the way to year 5. During year 5 and 6 though, I had a fantastic teacher who nurtured everyone's own capabilities and got me completely ready for HS.

I went to GEPS from kindy all the way to year 6. I can read well and write. That is all you ask for when you go to a primary school. However the teachers started getting involved in what we did outside of school. In year 5 and year 6 is when all of the boys started asking girls out. ( it didn't mean anything ) The relationships weren't even real but the teachers started wasting valuable class time to raise these issues. When you are in year 6 , you need to be getting prepared to move on to HS but no one in my year group felt prepared for the challenges of HS. i remember in year 5 one of my friends who happened to be a boy ask if I wanted to go to a cafe with him. I said yes and it was really fun. A couple of weeks later a few of the teachers found out and made us write down what we talk about , where we went and why we went. It was really none of their business as we went on a weekend. Only 2 of my teachers really helped me in getting prepared for HS. I know go to a private school and I found when I went back to GEPS to say hi to all of my old teachers, the principal wasn't the least bit happy to see me. She knew that I went to a private school and she thought that my family thought that we were better than the public education which is so out of line. GEPS is an ok school but I Would defiantly take your kid out at 4th grade to send them to a different school.
