Portside Christian College

i went to this school for 14 years, was bullied by multiple teachers and had poor support through the years with bullying from classmates too. i had no support in my learning needs, no reasonable adjustments and no additional time with teachers. i often felt stupid in my classes and only really had 5 teachers total who respected me as a person and taught me. the school has had some incredibly sexist, racist and homophobic staff and is not a safe place for students with disabilities or additional needs either. i hope it improves.

When my child was going through some personal problems she went to the school to talk to the counselor but she was kicked out of well-being and was not listened to. Furthermore, when another student brought many sharp objects to school and school socials, endangering everyone, the perpetrator was not held accountable. I no longer feel safe sending my baby here. She is about to graduate but I will not be sending her brother to this tarnation you call a school. Safety is NOT a priority for this school! Three out of thirty teachers managed to provide minimal support in at least listening to her. Save your children and your bank account, do not go to this school or your kids WILL need therapy.

The school is not supportive at all when providing assistance and dealing with life-threatening incidents. Communications between staff and parents/students is practically zero, making the school grounds feel unsafe and uncomfortable, especially when dealing with those traumatic incidents.
There is more effort put into uniform and other lesser-important things, compared to focussing on providing quality education and support for the wellbeing of students and families.

This school did not provide support during life - threatening situations and let students get in the way of physical and psychological harm and instead prioritised correcting uniforms rather then ensure the students’ safety. When reaching out for help during these difficult times, students were told to go back to class and move on rather then receive any kind of support. Furthermore, parents were never notified during these times of crisis and the staff wasn’t willing to try and communicate at all; creating a very unsafe learning environment.
