Truganina P-9 College

My child comes home and says nothing positive about the way their teacher is in the classroom. I can understand the frustration sometimes when the kids get all rowdy and loud, but to hear the things you say to them just gets me on edge. Really sad to hear. Rant over!

Outstanding school, most welcoming teachers and staff. First day on Foundation class Principal herself was out helping, speaking to children and parents.

This is our 2nd year in the school and so far so good. Teachers are hardworking, campus is big and academic performances are excellent. Though the school is crowded but the management and staff are trying their best to maintain the performance.

I am giving this a one because I can not give a zero. Please do not come to this school. When I was here I got bullied everyday. When I told the teachers about this, they said that I should ignore it. Once I got kicked in my stomach and the teachers said that I am old enough for it to heal. The students always say sear words and there are fights happening every day. If you need to go to first aid if you are hurt, no matter how bad it hurts, they will give you an ice pack. Nothing else. The teachers make the most fun lessons feel so boring. For homework there aren't enough questions. Once I actually got only one question for homework. I asked for year 9 homework and the homework was so easy. I don't know what is wrong with this school, they need to make a LOT of improvements. I am very surprised, they school actually made some of the staff give good ratings for the school! I can recognise so many people in the ratings. The canteen food is too expensive. The cost of 1 ice cream in this is enough to get a whole packet of ice cream in a shop like Coles or Woolworths.

During my time at this school all of the students are out of line there’s compulsive swearing at every corner it’s like uniform doesn’t exist there is a lot of bullying and the lessons don’t feel intriguing. We repeat the same learning topics every year some of the teachers can’t even speak fluent English sometimes it feels like the school is poorly funded the learning opportunities are really hard to come by with no extracurricular activities there is no room for extra learning to feed our interests and there effort during these times is unacceptable and online learning is nothing but a PDF. Overall I would not recommend this school to any pupil interested in staring a education here.

Run of the mill school, students do all the work the teachers just go online type in free worksheets for kids and give them which just signifies there lack of effort and diligence. The principal is always hidden away in her office and doesn't interact with the school community. If you look at there Facebook profile they managed to misspell college (what an embarrassment) Although the school has a lot of ethnic diversity and potential, they are missing the point of a school and that is to educate.

I like the school I guess but there is to much swearing and fights and not the best environment when you arrive at the because your first impression means everything and if it’s bad no one will really like you. I like the school but the teachers support to the students isn’t the greatest which make kids disrespect the teachers. If the teacher were more nice to the students like they are to parents it would make it a better place

Okay so ive been here for three years.and its a pretty good school.i like it.you make lots of friends, ive learnt a lot being here, its fun, big and yeah. One of the most ‘cool’ things about this school is that the students get along with the teachers.im in grade six, and Last year and also this year i have amazing teachers that i actually get along with and i can laugh with. I like how students and teachers get along its nice.

Heres My Cons.
There are a lot of fights, and a lot of drama in our school, a lot of bullying that the teachers dont really care about, its a suspension or a call to the parents but they should do more. THE WIFI.ooh the wifi.could be much better. Its very slow, too the point where we cant do certain learning tasks because the internet isnt working. And when we get to school theres sooo much traffic and we need to be more organised so i suggest to buy a drop off and pick up zone. And we need more classrooms. This school is too poor that we need to be in ‘portables’ but henwaysss thats it.

This school is good it has good education my son is in grade 6 but he has told that there are always fights and kids in prep even swear

The school itself, as in the buildings and structure are rather nice, however most of the teachers never really teach, there are of course some exceptions such as Ms. Hindmarch, Ms. Lucas and Ms. Vakaloudis, but the vast majority of them, simply read straight from the textbook and don't put in any effort into their teachings. They make the most enjoyable subjects boring and stiff.
The above review was written by my child.
The below review was written by me, her mother.
In one year and a quarter, my child has not learned anything. We are thinking of moving to a different school so that my child is able to receive a proper education that is fun and fulfilling.

Moving on, the children's behavior is rather vulgar. Little 9,10 and 11 year olds already know how to swear, and have no respect for their teachers and elders.
They don't have any manners at all, and it makes me wonder, if the school is even trying to enforce their values.

Me and my daughter both hope that school will at least try to make a effort to change this and I have already notified the school.

This school isnt as bad as people portray it to be but there are fights but in the end the school is safe and teaches each grade very educational subjects and important life lessons and if you disagree well then thats your opinion and you can chuck it in the trash along with your brain because your brain is stupid to think that this school is horrible because blaming the school is not right but instead blame the students not the teachers or the school by the way you should buy another brain at kmart because your brain is probably dysfunctional so get it checked out right now and if you dont like this school its probably because your bullied or just think your not good enough well then leave no one is making you stay so just ask your parents for a transfer or something and hope you have a good life
