Sandringham College 10 - 12 Campus

All hail Mr.Sise!

A fantastic school. Sadly in need of a face-uplift. Phenomenal teaching staff make up for appearances.

This school is great for year 7 students as all resources are put into this year level. This is done in the hope of recruiting new students and families to the school. Many great teachers are at this level too. Unfortunately from Year 8 onwards this is not the case. The quality and standard of teaching and attention to the students drops off rapidly. Now the Year 10, 11 and 12 students are all bundled into the senior school site so more Year 7 students can be enrolled with the false hope that they are entering into a great secondary education. Personally I am extremely disillusioned in what I was led to believe Sandringham Secondary had to offer. Some teachers can't even speak English well enough for the children to understand and learn from.Please think carefully before enrolling your child into this school. It could be very damaging to your child's welfare and future learning.

Some of the most horrible teachers I've ever dealt with. I know too many people who went to this school and were pushed out for not being good enough" and wound up with 5 weeks of suspension with 0 contact and now can't go to school at all. Do yourself a favour and don't send your kid to a school that cares more about its uniform than its students."

We have two children at this school, one on the senior and one on the junior campus. There's a wide variety of programs on offer across sport, the arts, and sciences. We had a bullying issue a couple of years ago which the school dealt with quickly and hasn't recurred. The senior campus is fairly run-down but that's government funding for you. No hesitation in recommending the school.

The principal of the junior school is excellent and Sandy has some wonderful, creative teachers.However, over the last 5 years there has been a marked drop in welfare/care for the students and a lack acknowledgement of achievement - along with an increasing attention on aspects like uniform rather than progressive education. The school would benefit from a new and innovative Principal.

Would recommend, particularly if your children are creative, because of the Fantastic teachers, however, it's a shame about the principal, who lacks creativity and often vents her frustration at the students by verbally abusing them during assemblies, which really, in this day and age, is unacceptable.
