My Sons attended Loyola Collage Sam & Bentley McLennan. Past students.We are a Local Family.I am a person with an Injury. Disability. I use a wheelchair to shop at Local Greensborough Plaza.The access for elderly and Disabled people lift is limited to 4 lifts at the Plaza. In total.On Wednesday 24/08/22.Approx 4 people at a time.Three young female students joking with friends ( ok young) however using the Lift to ‘Play games with a fellow Loyal student’.Although totally ambulant.. used a lift ‘for fun’. All wearing Uniforms. Whilst others waited.I was very disappointed that these Students showed no respect, not only a wheelchair user. An elderly Lady using a waking frame No Respect.She would have waited had not I welcomed her into the lift. Most certainly embarrassed of Loyola.These sadly young ambulant Students, endeavoured to take up the entire lift.I hope sincerely. Local students. Cleary wearing the Loyola Uniform will Uphold the Ethos.Wear the Uniform. With respect.I was embarrassed.Fiona McLennan

Mediocre education for the fees it charges. The school is ranked consistently 200th in the state (better education). Considering this, and the expenses paid, you can find better education elsewhere, which will give you more bang for your buck. I attended this school from 7-12 and from my experience it did not foster a great learning environment, teachers did not care about individual or cohort performance and I found myself constantly lacking education support. In year 12, I achieved a very good Atar, however, this was in no part from the education I received here, but entirely from my own self-learning. This school is very strict on student appearance, I don't see why they cant apply the same amount of effort into their education. The strictness of appearance is definitely disproportionate when compared to its education, for instance, they will literally send you home if you don't adhere to their rules. This shows that they would rather exclude you from learning, than have a kid with a little bit of facial hair. ​Additionally, for parents who are wondering whether to send your kids here, please consider what I have said, don't be deceived into going here by what you see on open days, such as; the nice appearance of the school, the gardens, uniform, buildings and the flashy neon sign, these all disguise the aforementioned negative aspects of this school. Underlying all these factors, I feel this school has to progress in terms of its mental health support services, as these were not abundant and they lacked the formal structure that some other schools have. In addition, from my experience I saw numerous bullying incidents, and many kids, mostly those with disabilities were picked on, and these kids eventually left by year 10. Edit; also, they need to more inclusive of LGBT people, by educating staff and students about them, as many kids were discriminatory and unaccepting of them. And, below my review, notice how all the good reviews are from parents of relatively new students, they don't know what there talking about as they haven't attended here first-hand, and do not know what culture this school actually inhibits when attending it. Plus, the new performing arts centre is a waste of money, more money should go towards the staff.

My child has been there for 3 years and we just love the collage. My other child will be starting next year and we cant wait.The stage show are fantastic, you can be involved if you like and its a great way to meet a fantastic group of family's.There is so much going on at the collage and you are always kept up to date with all the activity's going on within the collage.What more can I say it's a great school I would encourage to go take a look if you are looking for secondary schools it's worth the look.

walked into the bathrooms and some guy was cooking up a feast in one of the toilet bowls. tasted Great! best japanese street curry I have ever tasted!

Polarising in general. While some policies make sense, others such as presentation are rather half-witted. Staff members could either be a lifelong memory being a teacher that does their job properly and extends it beyond, others are not so helpful. Another aspect are the students, some of them are good friends and can lift up everyone's grades, while others unfortunately are either committing illegal activities such as using e-cigarettes underage, or rather annoying.

My child had an incident in the school grounds and the school has refused to cooperate and have been trying to cover up the event. My child has had to go through 30 thousand dollars worth of surgery while the school wont do anything about it

The way you’ve spoken to students about their ‘celebration day’ for completing year 12 is incredibly condescending and disrespectful, considering the absurdity they went through to complete their final studies. I graduated in 2020 and my school still managed to create a ‘celebration day’. In the middle of a pandemic. Hopefully that behaviour sees a ‘demise’.

Based on the acting principals major Victim Blaming merely in an interview I would assume anyone who ever had an issue wouldn't get it resolved, rather the victim would be blamed.Great set up for children for when they become adults and may be subject to DV!

This is my second year at Loyola at I have had a great year with the teachers being very nice and the school grounds looking amazing every day.
