"good school, although it can be hard to learn when some of the teachers don't teach at your level or you feel like they don't teach at all"

"DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. MARIE THE YEAR 7 COORDINATOR DISCRIMINATES AGAINST KIDS WITH EXTRA NEEDS. . I had my son enrolled to attend the school with the principles blessing but Marie the year 7 coordinator had some questions regarding my sons behaviours and learning abilities with his ADHD. She approached my sons current school requesting a letter about his learning and behaviour. She received the letter and then questioned the origin of the letter insinuating that my wife had something to do with it as it was a glowing report as my son is a top student. . After hearing that my wife’s integrity, and my sons learning ability and behaviour was being questioned, even after his current school sent a letter, we decided that there was no way he was going to be fairly treated given that Marie already discriminated against him for his ADHD so we put a stop to the enrolment process as we didn’t want our son going to a school where not everyone is treated as equal. After informing the school we weren’t continuing they took it upon themselves to keep our $350 enrolment fee which we requested to be refunded. They have no right to do this and we will be taking this to the department of education."

"If a year 7 child is struggling with engagement at school, then this is not the school for them. School counselor believed only grades were important, fitting in and feeling connected would come later. No support at all. There were some kind and caring teachers and admin staff, but the staff involved with authority were not supportive or understanding in any way. Things may have changed as this was a couple of years ago, but my advice is to be very wary and investigate thoroughly."

"Great school, I know many children and young adults who have come from this school as wonderful, smart and well adjusted people. Everyone is always so polite and helpful and the current principal is very kind and approachable. Sad to see some of the past students posting negative reviews for some fun though unfortunately. This school definitely deserves more stars."

"Went here when I was younger roundabout year 8 - 10 all they did was shove religion down my throat and didn't help me in education at all, a lot of bullies luckily I wasn't bullied but witnessed it on an everyday basis. Teachers here were extremely unprofessional and cared more about if your shirt was tucked in than your education and wellbeing. If you have common sense don't send you child here and if you do make sure they drop out in year 10 and start earning money instead of wasting there life here"
