Nazareth College

"If I could give a zero I would. Nazareth don't care about their students and this stems from the head down. While they have more students than any Catholic/independent school I know struggle with mental health issues. They continue to add to these issues by not supporting the student or the family. Nazareth do not support students academically or emotionally. This is reflective on their results year after the year with a lucky few very talented students getting high marks which they would have achieved anywhere but also too many students finishing and not moving into further studies or education.i have children at other schools who are so much more supported and this shows in the peace of mind I have sending my children there, in contrast to the heart ache and stress I had sending one to this school. I never felt they was physically, emotionally or a academically cared for. I hope there are major changes in the next few years before more students are effected by the lack of duty of care from leadership, admin and teaching staff."

"I have two children at Nazareth College and both are very happy at the school. The Laurel Program offers an amazing opportunity to children to accelerate in their academic studies, working a year beyond their current level in Maths, Science and English. These classes are small, about 10 to 15 students, who get the support to challenge their thinking from the teachers, who are fabulous. The well being team at Nazareth have been incredible during this difficult year, with support for all students. Highly recommend Nazareth as a wonderful and supportive secondary school."

"Both of my kids go to Nazareth and we love the care, support and nurturing environment shown to students and parents of students. It's a community. As a parent, there are various opportunities to be part of your child's development and communication between teachers and all other support services is excellent. It is a multicultural and diverse community and I absolutely recommend Nazareth above and beyond other schools. The care shown from everyone at Nazareth, especially during these challenging COVID times is exceptional. There are programs to suit all student needs, from the impressive Wellbeing Centre to outstanding academic programs for kids interesting in excelling academically. If you are a parent looking for the best high school for your child, please make the time to attend a virtual tour and ask any questions you may have. I moved my eldest daughter from a nearby school two years ago and I am so glad I did! She has made friends with a lovely group of students and is now thriving and so, so happy. My youngest has started his high school journey at Nazareth this year and is also loving the experience. Nothing beats seeing your child happy and enthusiastic to go to school everyday. Thanks Nazareth for looking after the emotional, social and academic needs of all our kids - keep up the incredible work!"

"Wonderful school, really happy with the support and the personal growth opportunities the College has provided for my boys. They have both excel under the leadership of their teachers. Students are encourage to have a voice at the school. I currently have a Yr12 student preparing for exam and all the teachers have been caring, supportive and understanding the stress he is going through during this crazy times. If anyone wants your child to have a voice at school, i would recommend you to consider Nazareth."

"Nazareth College is a great school, which offers many opportunities for all the students with their differing abilities, skills and talents. As a past parent staff always gave me the time to communicate &/or meet with them if needed. I only has to ask. My child was always encouraged to best their best. A safe environment for children to thrive. I would always recommend this school."
