St Bernard's Catholic School

Good school

While my kids have never attended this school, I was left dissatisfied with their enrolment process. I applied to 5 different schools for my child to commence in 2020. Of those 5 schools, St Bernards had the the highest non refundable application fee of $100. The issue I had wasn’t with me having to pay the application fee, it was because at no point in the entire process was I ever contacted by the school to advise progress of my child’s application. Everytime it was me having to contact this school to try figure out how the application was going. And if that wasn’t enough of the times I did contact them, I was told the school would be in touch with me. Well that never happened. So they pretty much took $100 from me for doing absolutely nothing!! I just wonder how many other people experienced what I did.

Beautiful school with dedicated staff, both of my kids went here and we all loved the school and community.

I used to go there, but then my mum got a job in NSW so we had to move

Wonderful school, extraordinary staff and teachers. The communication between the school and our family during the enrollment process was incredible. The Principle is an extraordinary person, very warm and kind. The most important of all is that our son is loving it and enjoying every day. My son feels so good that his love for reading has increased remarkably and now spreads many books on his bed to read every night, not as a homework but as a normal part of the day. This is a genuine nurturing school. Very welcoming! I would give more starts if I could. Thank you St Bernard's for everything.

Bullying and assaults occur regularly between students with little to no regard by senior staff for student safety or their obligation for duty of care. Education needs of students fall through the cracks also. Would not recommend this school at all. If you value your child's educational, social, emotional and psychological needs, avoid this school at all costs. The school refuse to take responsibility for incidences and escalation to BCE gets you knowhere.

I loved this school. I just graduated yesterday and it was amazing. Lovely teachers (especially Mr Galway, Mr Eickperger, Mrs McCarthy and Mrs Fowler) These teachers put a lot of effort into their students, I wish that I could never leave this school. Yuko Sensei is our Japanese teacher and she is the most kindest and she is productive with her students. Most of these teachers are in grade 6 but some teacher I recommend in the lower grades is Mrs Bertini (Even though she won't be here in 2019), Mrs Boyle (Won't be a teacher but will be a relief teacher), Mrs Joseph (SHES THE BEST! She was my grade 3 teacher and now teaches the grade 4's, Mrs Rutledge in grade 5 (She was my grade 4 teacher) and many more. I love this school so much. Grade 6's of 2018 I loved the year with you guys. Will miss you all greatly.Peace Outjoey

Terrible school, terrible staffs, terrible management. The teachers especially admins have no respect for parents and my kids got bullied often. I would give no star if I could. My kids are way happier at another school now.
