Donvale Christian College

The year nine campus sucks. They need to upgrade the basketball court especially as well as the field.

I started at Donvale last year I was new and everyone was already making friends and I thought that I wouldn't make any. But then as the year went on some girls came up too me and started hanging out with me and I felt very welcomed. But now I'm in year 8 with a lot of great friends and a lot of great teachers that are very much supportive of us kids and they try to make us do our best but this hate that some people are giving to this wonderful school is not nice and the teachers are might not be perfect but they are also trying after all they are humans and nobody and i mean nobody is perfect so this hate that this wonderful school is getting needs to stop

I used to go here but the work is really slacking compared to other schools like edsc and the teachers are like EXTREMELY biass and all of them hated me for no reason and told me off for the tiniest things. you also get detentions for really small stuff but some of the teachers were nice like miss reed, mr Lewellyn, mrs veduci and mr reed. overall the environment is very judgemental and homophobic and some of the students were SUPER judgy on how holy you were. and in year 9 camp a couple girls got hypothermia and injuries but were still forced to hike more and were told not to tell their parents which is seriously concerning. finally got out of this cult and I've never been better xx

For a Christian school, they did not handle matters with me a Christian way. I was 18, a student at the school in the middle of my Year 12 education. My biological parents terminated my enrolment. After this, I was offered to continue there under special financial circumstances. Then, after my parents met with them, they changed their minds. They did not let me continue & banned me from attending my own school formal, and did not even let me say goodbye to any of my friends, peers & teachers.I was even threatened to be removed by force off school grounds! They cared more about money than a student's education and future. They listened to my parents threats, instead of doing what was best for the student. The head principal & vice principal handled this matter extremely poorly.I will not be sending my daughter there.

If you do not believe in God, please do not send your children to this school! This is a Christian school, very patient and loving teachers, very friendly kids! My child entered this school from grade 4, this year is grade 7, very happy growing environment, my child in this school is educated very polite, can consciously happy learning! Thanks to the teachers of this school!

They preach too much about god, came here for 1 year and had to move schools because it was so bad!! My best friend got abused for wearing the wrong shoes by staff members. My new school is treating me so much better!

I change my mind, the teachers here are way better than at Melbourne high school. Its hard to learn anything over there and the only reason its rated so high is because of the smart students, not the good education. We follow a government curriculum and everything aaaaaaa why'd i leave this school

Good environment with mostly nice students and teachers. However, students won’t be prepared for VCE in the future as the result of lack of class/homework and pressure. It’s not a bad school, but it heavily focuses on religion, not so much on academics!It’s a good school for students that are in primary to all the way year 9, definitely wouldn’t recommend continuing senior secondary if you want to excel in VCE!

I'm a new student at this school and I think the staff and students here is super friendly! The education and school environment here is so much more better than my old school! I'm currently in year 9 and the best teacher here has got to be Mr. Price! He's super funny, friendly and great at teaching science! However, I do wish that there would that there was more cultural activities we could participate in and more varieties of languages that we could learn at this school.
