Brindabella Christian College

"The Great Woo Scandal of 2015 was a notorious scandal that haunts this school to this day. For anyone who doesn't know, one of the greatest teachers that taught at this school, Mr. Woo, had been censored from all school records and every staff member talks as if they have never heard of anyone known as Mr. Woo (except some random YouTuber who has zero relevance). After I further investigated the case, I uncovered some school books from 2011 which showed a picture of two students with Mr. Woo in the background. There was even a caption reading, "Mr. Woo is my favourite teacher!" This caption was presumably written by one of the students in the image. Aside from this, it was difficult to find any other physical evidence of Mr. Woo's existence aside from some graffiti underneath a desk that said, "I love Mr. Woo." The reason this school decided to censor his name from all school records is still unknown to the public, but I've encouraged my colleagues to look further into this case. We've searched for 8 long years but it was to no avail. The response from the owner to this review will likely be along the lines of, "We don't know of any Mr. Woo god bless you etc.", but remain wary everyone. We need to get to the bottom of this case."

"It is a school for rich snobs who treat other in a very bad and disrespectful way. Many newly rich Asian parents send their kids there who have no idea about Christian values and morals always causing problems."

"I spent a month in 2022 in the Middle and Senior Schools at BCC on a teaching placement as part of my university studies. I found it to be a challenging and useful experience in a kind and supportive environment. The teachers were great and so were the students. I enjoyed teaching there."

"Good staff, facilities and Christian experience. Enjoyed the school until late 2018 when major renovations went on, and the focus was less on the students and teachers. A lot of good teachers ended up leaving, and we had lots of principles in a few short years."

"We came to the school in 2018 from an expensive private school, and we absolutely love it. So far, we have only experienced the middle school. The teachers are committed, professional and kind. The uniform is comfortable, practical and cheery. Camp and excursion fees are often included in the reasonable annual fees. Parent teacher interviews and meetings are positive and pragmatic, with teachers asking questions instead of making assumptions. Both of my children are not particularly religious, academic, musical or sporty, but the school environment of kindness and shared purpose ensures that they are still encouraged to do their best and see their value as equal to all others. I have never felt discriminated against, despite being a sole parent who does not attend church. I also appreciate how the school focuses on love and acceptance, not sin and judgement. It feels safe to be authentic. I am aware that there may be issues above Principal level, but it has not affected our family. We are so grateful for all of the hard work, support and kindness of the teaching and support staff."
