Macarthur Adventist College

"Been at the school for 11 years. -Primary school was pleasant, great teachers, nice environment (early 2000's) -High school, educationally is not focussed on and most teachers aren't assisting or supportive. -Rude students, bullying is overlooked -Counselling and wellbeing is genuinely disregarded despite trying to portray their great focus on it, through activities or subjects (INVICTUS) -Bias towards groups of students, due to culture or sporting ability, extroverted personalities, etc. Overall isn't best."

"very good school, nice teachers and friendly students."

"Totally agreed with AA 1) Bulling and picking on lesser, week, quiet or introvert students and teachers doesn't take it seriously to resolve it as they have double standards 2) Too many students but not enough teachers 3) Over focusing on religion than education (???????), they don't like other religion or no religion people (they pretend to be open minded) 4) Way too many outings or paid events (Paying is never a problem for me) 5) Too many alternate stupid subjects then educational subjects 6) Not enough homework is given and when it is it barely lasts 10 to 20 minutes of homework in a month It's a private school just for business purpose, planning to move my kid to a better place. Guys if you wanna spend money on a better school, stay away from this one."

"I have two children in the school one is 13 and the other one six turning seven my oldest son had problems from day one with Bulleen and getting picked on and pushed around until he found his feet My youngest is super intelligent hyper vigilant talking to him you think you were talking to a teenager with this comes drawbacks he’s withdrawn as well as very short conversation is straight to the point so with that he’s getting picked on bullied and pushed around she’s not one to react but everyone has a tipping point where emotions take over and at this point he is always found guilty and disciplined for these actions he is not one to lie or to dobbed his fellow colleagues or students but has always been left with been the guilty party person me the school is good lacking in certain areas As far as education personally I think they focus way too much on religion instead of developing young mines engaging them their curiosity and feigning that fire which will be instilled in them for the rest of their life instead they focus on religion and fan that fire don’t get me wrong religion is a good thing but will not feed you neither Buddha house over your head and benefit your family’s lifestyle and future religion takes a front row seat education takes a back seat personally I do not like this besides that It is a wonderful school my two boys could’ve got in a bad drawer to the start of the school and throughout but the school is willing to help in any shape or form or benefit the children above all else which in my eyes pays up for most of the shortcomings they’re always willing to help and have always thought about the children first I had many times thinking of withdrawing them from the school but decided to keep them there we have not always seen ITI but I know that their heart is in the right place so with that I live view pondering I am not one to Playalong with the others and tell you that it is a beautiful school A diamond in the rough as school selection with the four new child for the rest of your life My opinion is drawn upon the time my children have attended the school it could be a one off but it needs to be told 1) Bulleen and picking on lesser students week to students or quiet students or gifted students happens 2) too many students not enough teachers 3) over focusing on religion then education is a real factor at the school 5) Way too many outings or paid events 6) too many alternate subjects then educational subjects 7) too many out of class activities 8) The way things are done online is lacking in focus direction out right confusion 9) not enough homework is given and when it is it barely lasts 10 to 20 minutes of homework in a month 10) The way they educate is extremely lacking meaning gone of the days where a student will be sent home knowing what their homework is or when it supposed to be given or drawn or handed in it is all done online and it is lacking in every shape or form my eldest son I can count on one hand the amount of times he’s had homework this year let her own last year and it’s not that he’s hiding it because it is put on a forum online and it is non-existent which in my opinion is extremely disappointing These are my opinions unfiltered unbiased straight to the point parents make your decision but I want you to know all the facts"
