Teachers were generally accessible and willing to help students struggling in core subjects. They offered extra support through after-school sessions, one-on-one guidance, and helpful resources.

Teachers were generally approachable and willing to help if you reached out. There were also lunchtime tutorials and study sessions for subjects like Maths and English, which made a big difference. Some teachers went out of their way to check in or explain things one-on-one, but you did have to take the initiative. Peer support and study groups were pretty common too.

Teachers had a massive impact on the students, and it was obvious through the students' grades. For example, in Grade 10, one of the science classes had a much higher fail rate than the rest of the other classes for an exam. The difference? The teacher. I had friends from that class improve substantially the following term when their teacher left and a new one came in. Although my experience wasn't as dramatic, teachers were still incredibly important. While some teachers helped me understand the concept immediately, others like my chemistry teacher were confusing and I ended up having to resort to external tutoring to understand. It was also a shame that the school had a high staff turnover rate. I had three different English teachers in Grade 11 because they kept leaving. This was particularly frustrating as personal feedback (e.g. feedback on progress over different exams) is incredibly important in subjective subjects such as English. When new teachers come in, they know nothing about you or your knowledge as a student, and thus their feedback is limited and may not be as helpful as it could be.

Review Getting extra help

The teachers were extremely accessible when it came to providing support. At least in my experience, they had always encouraged us to reach out if needed and would also always be willing to have private conversations if needed.

Review Getting extra help

There was maths tutoring once a week which was helpful, plus homework club once a week too. Generally teachers were open to help if you asked for it before or after school, but obviously that depends on the teacher.

Review Getting extra help

As I said before teachers were super accesable, you could ask them during class to come to throwing and they would almost always be obliging if they didn't have prior plans, again the after school tutoring is completely free. And peer feedback was very plentiful and engaged, we did so in each class essentially in a weekly basis.

For a student struggling in a core subject, teachers were generally accessible and willing to help. Many offered extra lessons after school or during free periods, and they encouraged students to ask questions whenever they needed clarity. Some subjects also had peer tutoring programs or study groups where students could support one another.

During exam blocks, teachers in maths and science had after school tutoring available for students' pressing questions. English and humanities teachers were always keen to look over feedback and were always welcoming for students to discuss their work. Numeracy and literacy programs were available in year 11 to prepare us for year 12 Most importantly, teachers believed in their students. They knew when to be serious to tell us to get our head in the game, but also kind enough to be encouraging. They were all about student learning and always aimed to help out students in every aspect.

The teachers are really great for extra support. There is a list of alumni tutors that teachers send out, including me :). That are great at understanding the subject and the assessments. Teachers also are great at giving specific feedback to help students improve. They will often have workshops and study sessions towards exams and consultations around assignments periods. They are also very open to emailing with all your worries and questions.

Teachers were generally very accessible and willing to provide extra help to students struggling in core subjects. There were regular after-school tutoring sessions, and many teachers offered one-on-one support during their free periods. Additionally, the school had a peer mentoring program where older students helped younger ones with their studies. For example, when I struggled with Chemistry, my teacher arranged extra sessions to go over difficult concepts, and a senior student helped me with practice problems, which made a significant difference.

Review Getting extra help

Teachers were very accessible for help, all it would take is the student approaching any teacher they are comfortable with in the subject and asking for help, and they could arrange lunchtime or before/ after school help.

Review Getting extra help

Teachers were readily accessible and willing to help, especially via emails and after school tutorials.

I really like the supportive community and how the school offers a lot of opportunities for growth, both academically and personally. The teachers are great, and my child has access to a variety of extracurriculars that help them thrive. The only downside is the extra fees for programs; it would be nice if some were more affordable or included in the regular costs.

Teachers were an email away and were pretty good just dont think their teaching style suited most and had alot of changing/ leave of teachers especially english and maths

Review Getting extra help

Students had a lot of access to help at my high school. Many teachers were available to help after classes, and were contactable through email. There was also weekly homework help in the library. Many students relied on each other for help in most cases.
