St Benedict's College

Most teachers are nice, very welcoming, although rules are quite strict and you will get into trouble a fair bit. The curriculum is alright, though that's more of a Brisbane Catholic Education thing. Marking is rather fair, and quite often you will be marked by more than one teacher. The most beneficial part of the school for me is their extra-curricular activities, including sport, drama, and even some STEM mixed in. Even though the school is heavily mixed in with Catholicism, you aren't forced to believe in God, etc. Overall, quite a good school, just make sure you don't mix with the wrong people, they won't quite beat you up, but it's just not a nice thing to come by.

In my experience and opinion this school cares way too much about the wrong things. There are students who have such bad mental health they can barely even get out of bed in the morning to come to school but as soon as they do they’re screamed at for the wrong socks or jumper. there are real world problems that should be dealt with within the school. i’ve been bullied, abused and sexually assaulted at this school, and i know others have experienced worse. they allow no room for self expression, and care way too much about appearance. there are only few teachers who actually care.

teachers are absolutely horrible, only care about uniform, and not a child’s mental health, needs, or requirements. Show zero help to children with disabilities, simply just sends them to a room to skip classes. Very strict about jewellery and presentation, don’t send your child here.
