Elim Christian College Golflands Campus

"Well organised"

"we are so disappointed with this school after more than two yrs waiting, they are just keep simply saying no space. The admission teacher’s email is cold as well. It appears they purposely picking up students."

"I got to run a course for the Year 5-6 students and was highly impressed by several things at Elim, Golflands: Firstly, the students were some of the easiest children to teach because they had great attitudes, were engaged in learning, and treated each other, their teachers, and myself – a guest speaker – with respect. You can tell a lot about a school by looking at how the children behave, and Elim's students are friendly, outgoing, and confident. So many children threw their hands up to volunteer as "confident actors" or "confident readers" in front of the entire class, which shows high self-esteem. When there were group activities, I barely had to guide children in learning because students stepped up to lead their mini groups and ensure everyone was included. Discussions were passionate and thoughtful. I saw sharing and compassion and helpfulness and all kinds of morals exhibited in each class. What a pleasure to teach! Secondly, staff. Although I was only at the school for a week, the staff made an effort to welcome me. Teachers invited me to sit with them during morning tea and lunch, whereas other schools may ignore visitors or be clicky in the staff room. Smiles all around wherever I went, and constant offers of support. After sessions, some teachers used their own break time to help me pack down equipment (as did some wonderful children). If I needed anything from last-minute printing to scissors, needs were attended to. From the admin staff to the relievers and teachers, the Elim staff went above and beyond. If my children develop attitudes like the staff at this school, then I would be a happy Mum. Final mention, the Christian values. Each lesson, teachers have the children welcome and conclude with a "Good morning, [name], God bless you!" Jesus and the Bible are freely discussed and incorporated everywhere. There were scriptures written on the paving stones, and prayers uttered every time a problem arrived. Teachers remind students of what is right according to the Bible and pray for each other in the staff room. Children going here will make peers with genuine hearts after God. God bless you, Elim!"

"The school is very strict limiting our WiFi speeds even tho the school has fast WiFi but they limit it we also have 3 assemblies a week which can't be good for our learning as we go overtime in most of them the school has a very bad consequence system you have to stay in at lunch until your done this is a very bad way of punishment as it just aggravates the students they spend no money on ac and they have little budget and if they do they blow it all on useless things like better applicinces in the staff room they also let the most annoying of students in and are to worried to expell students there is also a huge vaping problem"

"I am not happy with this local school . After two years on their waiting list and as I know they offered many vacancies to children even out of soon, they refused to enrole my children as they have related needs and supports .They even did not be brave to say that we will not enrol your children and they are just spending time to keep making documents . such a horrible experience."
