Mercedes College

We had a horrible experience here. My daughter was bullied and ended up leaving the school. This was quite a serious offence that happened, and the school's discipline policies were outdated and ineffective, and it seemed no one really cared enough about my daughter or the abuse she received. They bang on about reflecting on empathy, community and social responsibility as outlined in their socials, but none of this filters through to the school as a whole, from the students to the staff and especially the leadership. You don't expect things to happen to your children whilst they are in the "safety" of the school grounds, but at Mercedes this seems to happen all the time, hence why the year group numbers significantly decline as the girls get to year 10 on onwards. Also, the teaching and staff here are very old fashion and really need to be updated. Very behind the times. I can see this now I have another school to compare it to. Big disappointment.

Mercedes College does not have any disciplinary actions or strategies to confront bullying. Many student have left the school as bullying is very common and the teachers and principle turn a blind eye.

Bullying is not a priority at the schools no matter how extreme it may be. Even when taken to the principal and school counselors it is pushed aside. Mercedes College is not a safe or uplifting environment for any young lady.

Mercedes focuses closely on building the reputation of the school and refrains from setting disciplinary boundaries or consequences.

The school represents the perfect example of the archaic school system and lacks education that is valuable unless the student doing ATAR.

Mercedes does not hold their students and accountable and fails to educate them as young women turning to adults, and instead excuses childish behaviours.
