Which schools suit what your child loves?

Review Year 12 subject choices

Physics Digital solutions Media Modern history General maths English I chose them as throughout junior school you go on a rotation of subjects for two years allowing you to experience a little of what they'd be like for senior year. During middle school you get to select your favourites apart from maths and English and science. This gives you freedom to pursue stuff that you're actually interested in. Then for senior school you select subjects again but this time including maths, science and English. I chose subjects I was interested in which also happened to be what I was good at. Personally I would not have chosen differently as throughout this process there was academic coaching helping you decide on subjects and your end goal.

Review Getting extra help

All of my teacher I had were happy to help anyone outside of class whether it be before school, during breaks or after school. If you were struggling in a core subject you could easily talk to the academic coaching team and they could come up with a solution to try and help. There was also rooms at lunch time that student could help each other out in especially in year 12. There was a school chaplain on site all week and even a psychiatrist on certain days so support was definitely there.

Review Would you recommend it?

I would definitely recommend Kedron to others as it doesn't feel like any other public school. It feels more akin to a private school with it's behaviour and uniform standards as well as academics. Plenty of subjects to choose from depending on your future goals. Excellent arts department, great trades department as well as great STEM teachers. All of my teaches were really involved in their subject and wanted everyone to succeed. Personally didn't participate in any extracurricular activities but there was a plethora of options from sports to rocketry. There is also a strict no phones policie which when starting in year 7 I did not like but over the years you adjust and by the end I understood why it was a thing. It brings everyone closer together at lunch breaks as you have to actually socialise rather than just being on your phone. The tuckshop was also loved by everyone offering a wide range of foods and different specials depending on the day.

Review Something only students would know

The L block stairs are torture especially if you have classes at the top floor and it's a hot day. Honestly wasn't that bad but it was a running joke amongst my cohort. When the Kedron brook floods the ovals get flooded so sport is limited during that time and while they dry out. A surprising thing that happened was a few times over the years the premier of qld would land their helicopter on the oval while visiting the emergency services complex next door. Can't say that about other schools haha.
