Senior high school

Inadequate teaching, terrible facilities and certain teachers are really bad...but this school puts far less pressure on students, less than 1 assessment a week and realistic standards on students. If this school put less effort into prioritising the welfare of students it would easily be a 1 star rating.

Some of the teachers care about how your doing but some don’t, which isn’t great. The students are nasty and don’t seem to care about education at all and create havoc all over the school. Overall its a nice, clean and supportive school, but they need to change the way the teachers approach their teaching, and offer better support to those struggling and don’t put too much pressure on those who have learning difficulties.

i cannot believe this absolutely disgusting facility, the conditions in this place are comparable to the worst prison in the country. i was simply in the canteen purchasing my meal of the week when none other than bobby harrison waddled past and took a bite out of my uncooked sausage. i WILL NOT be returning to woodvale secondary college canteen ANY time SOON. frazzle MCATEER. CONTROL. YOUR. CHILD

0 star experience, Teaching quality is Garbage.overall satisfaction minimal& cannot see it leading to an even low middle class salary.

I’m so sorry for my parents who thought they were doing the right thing sending 3 brothers there . They are regretting this even today . Unless you are from a wealthy , well known family you will be treated totally different in a way which you feel uncomfortable. They wished they saved the money and not worked their guts out to pay the excessive fees. If your boy isn’t happy there , don’t push him . He won’t learn . That goes for any educational facilities. No great memories, only horror and abuse . Many in my year felt the same

If you are looking for a good school I would not recommend Ballajura Community Collage. I've experienced people selling and doing drugs, the building isn't very well looked after, their system of education is very poor, teachers don't put enough effort into their job, students aren't nice, bullying isn't a big deal, they don't really deal with problems. So if you want your child to live a good life and get good education BCC is a perfect example of a place to avoid

As a student here you really get to notice how much bullying/fights happen here, if you're planning on sending your kids, please ask some of the kids there first

We have recently moved to Perth from the UK, and visited a number of schools both state and private. After much deliberation and talking to various people (from people met on dog walks to the local hair salon), we felt Scotch College was the best fit for our two boys (aged 8 and 5). Two weeks in, and the boys absolutely love the school. They are so happy, which to us is THE most important aspect. Secondly the nurturing and caring nature of the teachers (namely Ms Sayers and Mr Munday in Junior School, who are absolutely awesome) and the style of teaching is second to none. And Marley our dog, loves his walk round the huge oval playing fields in the mornings! Thanks also to Mrs Hodges for making the transition to their new school so effortless.

went blind due to the reflection from all the bald teacher's heads. will not be coming back until toupées are supplied for them.

As a concerned parent, I feel compelled to share my deeply unsatisfactory experience with Helena College. It is with regret that I write this negative review, but it is important to shed light on the glaring issues that plague this institution. Mine and my son’s interactions with disrespectful staff, their relentless pursuit of money, over-reliance on technology, and their lack of genuine care for students has left me thoroughly disappointed.One of the biggest issues I encountered at Helena College was the biased upper management. It became apparent that decisions were made without taking into account the best interests of the students. It seemed as if the administration was more concerned with their personal agenda rather than providing a nurturing environment for learning and growth.The disrespectful behaviour exhibited by the staff was disheartening. Instead of creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, I witnessed dismissive attitudes, unprofessional conduct, and a lack of empathy. It is disconcerting when those entrusted with the education and well-being of our children fail to demonstrate basic respect and decency towards them.Helena College is overly focused on financial gain. The school’s insatiable desire for money overshadows their commitment to delivering quality education. There was an emphasis on profit over student welfare, with exorbitant fees and continuous pressure to make additional financial contributions. It is disheartening to witness a school prioritising financial gains above the educational needs of its students.The education offered at Helena College was alarmingly disappointing. The school relies heavily on technology as a substitute for genuine teaching. The over-reliance on computers and software left students disconnected from the learning process. It is disconcerting to see education reduced to a series of automated programs, neglecting the essential role of teachers in guiding and inspiring students.Despite the school's claims of caring for their students, the reality fell far short of their promises. The lack of genuine concern for individual student well-being was evident in the school’s actions. Teachers and staff fail to provide the necessary support and guidance for students' personal and academic growth. It was clear that their supposed care for students was merely a facade to attract parents.My family’s experience with Helena College has been overwhelmingly negative. Greed-driven practices, an inadequate education system reliant on technology, and a lack of genuine care for students have left me deeply disappointed. As a parent, it is disheartening to witness an school that fails to prioritise the well-being and development of its students. I urge prospective parents to thoroughly consider their options and explore alternative schools that truly prioritise the education and welfare of their children before sending them here.
