St Brendan's Catholic Primary School

"Good environment for learning but I wasn't fond of the teachers looking back at it. I had this one teacher on my back all the time back in Year 3, called me selfish when my friend jokingly took my food (from assumptions I guess?) then took my friend's side when she thought I was in the wrong house. I couldn't tell what house I was in other than them giving me a yellow water bottle 2 years later after that incident (still surprised we're still friends). I had good memories there, aside from obvious favouritism and sometimes teachers showing their nasty side for no good reason (or some teachers actually being a douche)"

"I'm a newly graduated student, I would like to start off by saying how poorly the school was treated and payed for by the former principle. The former principle never bought new equipment and was literally the biggest cheapskate, she mistreated parents and had favouritism towards certain students. When students would act out, swear, start physically fighting, but the old principle would let him off on a warning, there were no actions that were made making this school horrible with the way they deal with situations. Now there was a new principle who had joined the stb community last year and has made a big improvement to the school. The new principle had given us many new and different opportunities and activities and actually considered the feedback from the students themselves. She bought us a lot of new equipment and generally made a good impact and improvement on this horrible school. She puts in an effort to get to know students and manages the school very well. Overall the school has made a big improvement with the new principle i have to admit that the school is very very small and doesn't have enough teachers to support the school. The school is okay but I would recommend not to go to this school. Lots of favouritism, lots back talking, and lots of problems not being properly dealt with. Do not go to this school unless you will settle for the bare minimum for your child."

"Coming from the class of 2017, this school was pretty decent, the canteen food was nice with reasonable prices. I remember straight after we were allowed to leave the classroom, students would rush to the canteen to get a cheese toastie. Education was okay, in year 6, the teachers tried to prepare us for year 7 by doing mock assessments (though it didn't help much, we basically had a term to do a 6 slide presentation about our chosen saint for confirmation. Looking back at that, it should've been a 2-3 week assessment to apply in pressure to prepare the students). The teachers would always make my class stay in for recess and lunch for the little things that one classmate would always do (mucking around, talking back to the teacher, etc), almost everyday we would be sitting in the classroom in silence and we weren't allowed to sit with our friends. Looking at the other reviews, it sort of saddens me (not too much though) that this school has degraded over the years since I have graduated. It is true that there was no camps for year 6 and barely any excursions throughout primary school. The teachers sometimes do tend to lean towards favouritism, but it really didn't affect me much as I usually minded my own buisness in class. I am kind of lowkey dissapointed that the school drastically did a makeover when I graduated, whenever I pass by the school, I don't even recognise it anymore. Now that I am looking back to primary school, I'm confident to say that it was an experience which I wouldn't go through again, except for some parts.I would give it a 2.5 star rating, but I'm feeling generous at the moment, so I'll give it a 3."

"This is from a former student a year ago, I went to this school. It wasn't fun, From what I experienced the school learning was very boring and tiresome. I barley get a break or two. Miss Boyale is way to strict on us and should let us have some air... The school is very clean I would say but the fee for this school is not worth it. My parents basically struggled to pay the fee's, Once in a while teachers have mental break downs and favouritism was common in this sort of school. Miss boyale practically praised over my classmate sim(not full name.) Food was way to expensive and property was very small. Learning education was good, we were learning year 6-7 stuff. But people from this school is toxic, the toxicity was off the charts, popular kids talking behind backs left and right. Back chatting, talking bad, attuite and swearing wasn't a surprise. I do recommend this school if you're a high end spoiled brat with enough money to cover everything, But ima just say, there is no camping or excursions in this school. Its boring and lack of teachers doing anything. teachers where lazy with their job. If you're gonna spend your money on this trash. You shallow and ugly in the inside. TY :)"

"I attended this school and it was not a great school. In year 6 I questioned a teacher about a math problem that I got right and she got wrong. The fees towards renovations were all used after I 'graduated' from the school. When doing the Selective High School Placement Test, they did not agree to providing school marks, forcing my grade to solely rely on raw exam marks. As a whole, the school is not worth your money."
