St Norbert College

Saint Norbert College is possibly the most hard/harsh catholic school in WA. The way the teachers treat their students is completely intolerable and highly concerning as most teachers only care about racking in the checks. Its highly surprising . how haircuts is the most concerning thing that the school pick up on, Very disappointed

I am a student at St Norberts and I highly recommend you do not enroll you kids here, the teachers do not know how to teach properly, I have learnt nothing and my grades are getting lower every term. The kids here are very immature and and the school over reacts about every little thing. This school is a waste of time and money. Please do not enroll.

We came as a family to the school a few days ago to ask about enrolling our two boys to SNC. We went because our enquiries via the website email channel went unanswered.Despite the Enrollment officer being there, they refused to see us, and kept on referring us to the website. The Enrollment Officer was just about 3 meters away but we had to speak to the receptionist, then the receptionist to the Enrollment officer then the receptionist to us. Forgive me for being blunt but it was very comical.The reason was they had about 50 kids on the waiting list for every class. As they put it, they were bursting at the seams.I had my phone with me so I went and check the information I was after in the website and couldn't find the section they mentioned. So I had to ask the reception to show me where it is, and she couldn't find it.I understand that they may not be interested in taking more potential students and the chance of my kids getting accepted to the school was very slim, but I felt a bit uneasy leaving that school.I went straight to Ursula Frayne and they were the same, they were overwhelmed with applicants too, but the approach was very different, a lot more kinder. I hope this only happened to me, as SNC is a good school with good reputation.

Applied late last year to get my son in for last term year 7 as we moved into the area ,was told bit late come back next year.allthough lady coordinator was happy to take my application and $100 deposit ,never heard from them again.very disappointed with whole process ,felt like I just got ripped off 100$ for nothing ,ended up having to send my son to ccs which was not my first choice.not values I expect from religious school

Brilliant wonderful pastoral care. Everyone gets to have a go if they want to, not just those hot housed by their parents since birth. Encouraging, positive, atmosphere. Just some rules on uniform, behavior and finishing your homework but if you still feel the need to be rebellious when you graduate go ahead and be silly then.

I had dropped out of SNC and High School all together as of this year. I won't bother just trash talking about my terrible experience overall the school isn't perfect and needs a lot of changes. For example, the teachers really should treat it's students with more respect. From my own time in school, High school isn't the deciding factor of life and teachers should atleast be a little more respectful. To anyone who is reading this still in SNC, Don't worry if you fail year 12. TAFE exists for a reason. - Dyllan Mattheys

We love the school. We have really seen huge growth in our son whilst being at St Norberts. His self confidence has improved and he’s very settled at high school. We have found St Norberts to be a supportive school and lots of different opportunities to suit all kids.Only suggestions is I would love to see more after school study clubs, especially for core subjects and robotics/chess clubs.

this school has changed alotbut some stuff hasent and some onther prople can say the same thingsorry for the mistakes

over all, this school has many curricular activities and sports but so far starting this school, i haven't been having a good time, the older kids sometimes are a little too rude and with my anxiety, i feel scared to tell a teacher. in addition, i feel like the teachers mainly think about the reputation and image of the school and it makes me kinda sad that the year 7's cant really do any recess and lunch activities and clubs. But me being honest, Mr Mecham is the best, he is so nice and Ms Greene is so funny and so easy to approach. another negative about the school is that they put to much pressure on year 7's which overwhelmed me when they suddenly threw all these assessments at me and made my anxiety go even higher

Teachers treat students differently if they do not meet academic standards and are way too strict over little things such as uniform rather than spend time on education
