This school is a living nightmare for students who dread going every day. The teachers show traits of racism, discrimination and prejudice. If you are considering this school for your child, Don’t. Students have also been caught cheating on the HSC but were left unpunished and ignored which just shows how unprofessional this school is. This isn’t a school, it’s a prison. Come to this school if you want bullying, poor education, bad environment, racism, and every bad thing you can imagine . This school has a horrible reputation and there’s many reasons why. Don’t step foot into this school and warn the others.

This school is the worst rubbish it has become increasingly disappointing. The library staff regularly give students dirty looks just for walking in, they treat everyone like kindergarten kids, and get angry over the smallest amount of noise. Even talking quietly feels “forbidden,” and everyone is constantly told off for simply trying to study or sit with friends. The school feels disorganised, with staff who don’t seem suited to the management roles they’re given. Leadership decisions often feel out of touch, and there’s very little genuine interest in students' wellbeing or voices reputation always comes first. The Year coordinator, in my experience, has been unhelpful and dismissive, and communication across the school is poor. Rules are excessive and often outside what a school should realistically control, like trying to dictate who students can drive home with, or banning students from taking study leave the day before exams. Prices for everything are inflated, and it often feels like teachers care more about their cars than the students they’re teaching. There are also serious concerns about fairness and integrity from what many students saw, cheating during the HSC trial exams was ignored rather than dealt with. Overall, this school has great potential, but the leadership, organisation, and treatment of senior students need major improvement.

This school is experiencing the downfall of the century, the teachers are extremely biased to students with connections amidst the school and the schools money efforts and resources are all put towards security cameras and finding nee ways to getting students in trouble rather then improving their schooling experience and utilities. Even the hall and football goals in the school provide an alluring facade of encouraged health and sporting pssion however the students are almost never allowef to use these things. Everything about the school is over priced and alot of the teachers dont teach and are bery disrespectful towards students and didmissive of parents. Recent examples include the library ladies as many of the students continue to complain about their belittling mannerisms and objective hatred which they ensure every student who walks in expereinces no matter their age or grade. students are made false promises of extra facilities and events to happen annually which never come to late due to poor organisation and leadership from the teachers. Furthermore, the school cares less about its students and more for its facebook page and the teachers care more abt their teslas than the students too and what people have to say, its absolutely disgusting to see students served with the highest degree of punishment by many teachers, rather than a chance at redemption and love in all cases across the many uears of plethorous student experiences at this school. I would like to warn all students and parents to beware of the school and irs disorganised nature as the best part or it comes not from what u pay for but rather the kids and the friendships they form, pften encouraging eachother to improve spirituallt and academically especially apporaching their final years, thats the only thing worth paying for. Id also like to show some love to Ms Rai and the canteen ladies. God bless 🙏

No parking for the school so every parent in wattle grove thinks it’s ok to block my driveway so I can’t leave for work. I’ve spoken to the neighbours and they agree that the school needs a drop off section that isn’t their driveway or gardens. Since the council are doing nothing. Maybe the school can build a car park or drop off for the them.

My son started at year 7 this year and he loves the new school so much as he can attend 5 days camp each year where he learns survival skills and makes friends with other kids . After school, I found him spending more time with homework and trying very hard to get his merits point when making academic progress. Myself as a father feel happy for him seeing he grows and develops skills in such a short time . It is the best school in the community. Thanks St Mark!

I loved this school. I thank God all the time for giving me the chance to attend this school. I went to a horrible public school before from year 7-10, surrounded by kids who didn’t prioritise education, had a bad influence on me, kids doing drugs at school, girls and boys focusing on relationships, all sorts of none sense… When I came to this school, I wasn’t just taught subjects, I was taught morals and ethics, so much more than I was ever taught at home. This is so much more important than just focusing on studies, as kids who have a bad upbringing or have parents who don’t know to parent properly need the chance to be taught about these things - we spent more time at school than at home, this is vital. However, I appreciate and like the fact this community focused on education and almost all students end up going to university. If I stayed at my old school, I don’t know how I would’ve ended up. This school was my saving grace and I loved it!

Teachers are amazing,friendly, caring and empathetic.they look after the kids as if their own kids. Priests are always there to support kids spiritually and mentally. My son enjoyed STEM classes. So grateful to be in such a great blessed community 🙏

I went to this school for a few years, it was horrible in every way. besides the strict teachers, the canteen workers scammed me and my poor mother. this school is way too expensive and needs better educational benefits. besides these botted reviews saying how great this school is, why don't you go look for yourself? the other students are judgemental and mean. and they expect you to know everything. and the toilets were disgusting. In my opinion, there are better schools out there.

My son attended this school from year 10 to year 12 and this was the best gift for my son. He was exceptionally well supported by all his teachers. My son was provided extra tutorial in subjects he lacked. My son end up being a senior manager in a bank. I thanks and wish his previous teachers well every day of my life.
