St Albans Secondary College

This school is trash the And is all about studying and learning which is good but theres no fun here so if your trying to send your child to military camp you found the right place

I love this school.i have the greatest class and the greatest friends.people welcomed me in a matter of seconds and i felt at home right away.you may think this school can be strict, or the people can be uptight, or the teachers push the rules a bit far, but it's only because we care and we have enough pride in ourselves and in the school to show it.the teachers are the kindest iv'e ever come across.they help me with everything and care about my well being, iv'e never felt happier in a school environment.

I'm a student at this school, from what I experience for the past 3 years. The principle brainwashed me to follow rules to follow policies when are just ignorant and stupid. I got bullied at this school when I was Year 7 and when I was talking to the coordinators, they just simply say 'What the name of the person' or 'Bring them to me'. How about you deal with them rather asking them to deal by yourself? Now I felt anxiety and depression from this dumb school. I wish I would move out of this school but this is the only place in the western area. Don't let your children to enrol in this harmful school!

Please don’t listen to all rumours
It’s the best college ever.
It depends on the person how you react and study hard.

I am soo disappointed in this school, i do appreciate all your school rules, you must listen to all students before JUMPING into anything.do you guys ever wonder why asians go there so they can beat u mother racist.i’m from america i’ve been hearing such bad stuff from my niece

Terrible school, with terrible people and corrupt system. The ones in charge here don't care about you. They care about your socks. Teachers would rather postpone the lesson to discipline kids because they are wearing black socks instead of white socks (how dare they!). I'm sorry but we don't pay taxes so we can have teachers send students to the office because of ridiculous things instead of actually doing their job which is.well.teaching, isn't it? Also most kids here are disrespectful and there is a fair amount of bullying here, even though the school denies it. I have heard many homophobic and racial slurs here, it's disgusting. After spending more than 4 years here, I now have depression and constant anxiety attacks. It's ruined my life. One star is too generous.

Heard some really bad stuff going on about this place, never listens to both sides of the stories and assumes. Good school rules and all, but yous arent treating everyone the same. There are 3 sides to the story: 1st victim, 2nd victim and the truth. But you don’t know the truth, you just need to listen to both sides of the story and sort it out and not assume and blame the other victim for doing something they did not do.

Hi i’m a student at this school.and i did not have any type of cynical thoughts about the school before i actually attended.i do not agree with the unreal policies they have at the school.this school sets absurd and unrealistically high expectations of the school uniform and punishes us extravagantly if we fail to follow it.they are more concerned about their appearance and reputation rather than the actual education that we are paying for.i highly recommend that you do not enroll your child at this school.also if i could put zero stars then i would but unfortunately that is not possible.

All the teachers are little dogs. You can't make a call to your dad at lunch or you'll get your phone taken away. I was sitting on the oval and two teachers came up to everyone asking to see their pockets if we have phones.brat took my phone and i begged her to give it back but the woman told me to pick it up with my family next week. They give you so much work. It's retarded. So glad I moved school. They don't care if you get bullied or anything. They tell you to solve it Your self. I hope everyone sees this and you do not go to this school. All the teachers are dogs. If you miss a sentence on your homework. You get detention and a meeting with your parents. That's how stupid this school is.:) i also hope all the teachers see this.

This is a horrible place for my child to attend. They would come home everyday looking sad, I ask them what's wrong and they complain about the teacher which I quote "They're such biased people and the target me specifically which I think is very unfair" the teachers that should be fired is Ms. Azmitia. They care about uniform more than education. My son would come home saying I wore the wrong "socks" so I can't learn.

Best school every I went to that school and the teachers helped me a lot with my English and maths and the best part is that there is different languages to pick from and there is no fight and there is a lot of diversity.

I was going on an excursion when, a teacher which was going with us told everyone we weren't allowed to bring bags, so on that day I ate nothing. I vomited. 4 Times. I suffered from malnutrition, and everyone else too. Now I have Diet Distress. The most stupid thing is that my friend, in another class was ALLOWED to bring their bags.
That teacher that didn't allow the whole class to bring bags was. Miss Honeycomb. How dare you do this to me.

I never wore my seat belt while driving to this school because I wanted to die before I got there.

It would be unfair to say that this the worst school in Australia. But judging by what I've seen in the 3+ years I've been here, I can definitely say that it is certainly in the running for being the worst school in Australia. I do not feel safe here. Many students here are discriminated and made fun of because of their sexual orientation. I myself have been having depression and anxiety problems because of this landfill. It is sickening. The majority of the students here are disrespectful, rude and no one does anything about it. The school or 'college', whatever you want to call it to make it sound like its more than it actually is, only cares about supporting their top students and if you're not getting 95% or more in all of your subjects, then they'll ignore you like you're nothing. Until you show up to school with black socks. Then they'll sure as hell notice you. A couple months ago, many kids here were sent home just because they were wearing the wrong socks. It was reported in major newspapers like The Age. This is just blatant proof that this school worries more about your appearance than your child's education. Parents are paying around $1,000 a year so that this school can give your kid the proper education that they need, not to send them home because of what they were wearing. And this school still has the audacity to ask for a 'voluntary donation' every year when the fees come out. They also have these things called 'coordinators' at school who are supposed to support your learning and are there to talk to if you have any problems. But I thinks it's the opposite. They cause the problems. The other day I needed to go home because I wasn't feeling very well and me and my parents had discussed that I could come home because of this. But when I came into their office to tell them this, they started questioning me like I was some criminal in a police interrogation session. 'Who sent you here!? ' was the first thing that was said to me. 'What's your attendance like? ' 'You thought that was bad enough to interrupt your learning? ' Yeah, like you care about my learning. Please, to all of the parents of Grade 6 children who live in the area, DON'T BRING YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL! You and your kids will regret it for the rest of your lives.

Don't suspend me for being truthful, this place is just no. Feel free to join this school to get suspension for wearing below ankle socks.

Don't go to this school. Teachers are alright and environment is ok. However about 90% of the students are rude and disrespectful. I don't know how many times I've heard the phrase 'gay c***' been said here. Also the school values their uniform system more than education. For example, if you wear white socks with a small logo on them, you get a detention. Pathetic. In fact, the other day many kids were sent home because of the socks they were wearing. And lastly, avoid the toilets if you can. All kinds of crazy things happen in there. One day I had a pizza box thrown on my head. Been here for a little while now and the school just seems to gets worse every day.

"truth is our motto", "we have a very strict bullying system" such lies make me sick. I'm a father and I feel extremely shameful to have attended this school and will NOT send my child here.
A few months ago a student who was crying got suspended for 3 days for being bullied because he yelled at the bully to stop bullying him. BUT GUESS WHAT? The bully didn't get suspended). Wow ms. Team coordinator ms. A for suspending the wrong child.
Teachers from this school bully their student while hypocritically saying that bullying won't be tolerated at this school, what makes you an exception teachers? You are adults. You shouldn't be teachers if you are to treat students in such disrespectful manners.
A whole group of students got sent home recently for wearing socks that aren't covering the ankles. PARENTS PAY FOR THEIR CHILD SCHOOL FEES SO THEY CAN LEARN. How could you disrespectful teachers send them home for such a small reason, Wasting people's time! How ridiculous in all manners. This school will need to close down soon or else they will ruin more students opportunities of having a memorable high school life. Highly recommend parents to do their children a favour and NOT send their children here.

This school values white socks above the ankle more than education.they care more about how the students appear on the outside than our own wellbeing.some of the teachers are rude as and pretentious + also not even good.they spend 100k on painting the gym walls rather than building toilet blocks, when theres only two for 1600 kids.theres cockroaches in one of the cooking buildings.

Heard this school has a good reputation but when i went there for a year, I have been shocked by how trash the school is, people are so racist there and would NOT RECOMMEND this school to anyone -unless you're from VIETNAM.

School is strict. Teachers & co-ordintors care about their REPUTATION and especially the uniform AND DETENTION. Some people say it's a bad school. Some teachers aren't that good at teaching and are really harsh markers, too difficult and too much homework given. Nasty.
