Mark Oliphant College

"I'm currently a student here and it's horrible. It's been so hard to get support and help from the stuff. They do nothing about the bulling they are too lazy to do anything about it I've asked to move my locker because the bulling has gotten worse as they have done nothing about it, when it has been brought up to them. They have done nothing to help I left in primary school and came back for highschool for friends I now regret it. It's a horrible school I DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR YOUR KIDS. I only get help from one SSO as they have helped me through school the only reason I attended is her. If I could I would give it 0 star's. They don't understand ADHD and ASD plus more students. They don't help or support as I am ADHD and ASD student myself. It is so hard to get support and help from them I come up with some good ideas to help me in school and other things and they say "yes we are on board with this we will do anything to help" they say this but do don't in reality. They have no training in this type of stuff and no understanding. It's so hard to leave the house not know what will happen that School day holidays just stopped and most of school holidays I've been dreding scared and Thinking about how hard it will be to get through the day when school starts up again."

"I currently go here as a high schooler and this school can deliver good education but the teachers who actually teach it can sometimes ruin it. Also, make pe mandatory instead of 2 terms only."

"There are many poor reviews of this place. I personally had the best years of my life here, this school remains part of my childhood. I was at this school from Reception till Year 4, and those were the major highlighted years especially Year 3 and 4, I'm now a Year 9. It's appalling to see how many people show hatred towards this school. If I could go back to this school, I most certainly would. The way to stop bullying in the first place is to prevent it yourself. Prevent yourself from getting in those situations in the first place, it can be hard, but it doesn't matter. I have nothing but positive things to say about this school, the curriculum is great especially for a low fee. The teachers there were great. Although I do not go to this school anymore (unfortunately), most of the students there are very kind, and it's easy to make mates there. Of course there are going to be those who bully, but I know that's the same with every R-12 school in South Australia. The only place I know that doesn't have any mischevious students is St. Peters, but I figure most parents do not want to pay 30K a year for a single child. I conclude my review with saying that I wish anyone seeing this especially those who are young and potentially have a good childhood in front of them to come here."

"If I could give this school no stars , I would ! It needs a major overhaul or closed down IMO. Middle years is attrouious - there is no care for students. Communication is horrendous between teachers to parents and between other staff - our son has Autism and his teachers did not understand his special needs often ridiculing him for being over stimulated or having meltdowns. The school has no sense of community , you are a number ! Bullying is beyond a joke and the school allow it to continue"
