Great school
Atypical school
Bialik is isolated from the world around them making the students inexperienced in the real world. This increases antisemitism because they don’t behave and understand the people at their age. It’s great at protecting your children 100%, but when they leave Bialik they will have to start living in the ‘real world’ which will be difficult and unnatural for them. They may be book smart as they do well in VCE, but smart in terms of society not so much. It is as if Bialik has their own planet, it works great for them, but from other perspectives, it is atypical behaviour. On top of this, Bialik also doesn’t have a school blazer, the only school i know that neglects this uniform article. It makes them look improper and again strange when compared to other schools. Lastly their ‘primary school’ ends in year 5, so they start high school in year 6. This again is very strange as no other school does it, seeing as typically highschool/middle school starts in year 7, not year 6. Overall this school achieves such high marks due to their very low student count and isolation from society.
Achieves good grades but not good mental health
Primary years were good, but as you get higher up the curriculum becomes unbearable due to stress. They also don’t have enough study spaces.
