Dane Court Grammar School

On multiple occasions I went to the mental health team and a few other trusted teachers in the school about how badly I was struggling and the shrugged it off as nothing, put me on a "fast tracked" wait list for a councillor who still took multiple years. Furthermore the pressure you receive from the teachers to get good grades to the point where you're convinced you've failed if you've not got 75%/grade A was debilitating. The amount of students who used to take drugs and things like that to try to keep up was a borderline epidemic within the school. Overall the experience at that school left me traumatised and any parent willing to send their child to that school should reconsider

the school is alright. they can be good to gell with mental health and stuff but not all the time. the PSO and SEN staff are really nice and take the time to help you with whatever you need. it's an okay school I would say

We have been thoroughly impressed with Dane Court Grammar School. Our daughter has settled in exceptionally well and loves the range of extracurricular opportunities available. The staff are supportive and passionate, and we appreciate the emphasis on caring and open-minded values.

The student's hate each other and the teacher's vouch for 'good mental health' and a 'safe environment' - yet when theres a problem... not even a detention or anything

The student's that bully others or worse - are only given warnings and a stern talking to. My daughter came home with bruises on her arms and I found out her bullies are allowed to stay in school - sometimes even sitting next to her in class

Absolutely disgusted

As a parent, I'm thrilled with the facilities at Dane Court. My son is in Year 7 and is loving the challenges and experiences he's having. The teachers are knowledgeable and the behaviour of the other pupils is excellent. We feel very fortunate to have secured a place here.

When confronted with a racist student who is also a danger to younger students as well as other peers (takes pictures without their permission and also dates significantly younger) - the school decides to berate the student that had compiled legible evidence as well as statements from the victims and instead turns the situation on them rather than punishing the perpetrator - doesn't give him anything at all.. not even a single warning or detention

Dane Court Grammar School is honestly an abomination of a place; they lie about their code of conduct, they do not follow through with what they say, and they lie about things to get you to attend the school. They do nothing to help students being bullied, sexually harassed or the blatant sexism, homophobia and transphobia students have to deal with on the daily. They just don’t care about us.

We moved to the area when our son was in Year 11, and he joined Dane Court Grammar School for his final year. While the school's values and emphasis on caring are commendable, we had some issues with communication from the school and the facilities for our son's specific needs. Overall, it was a decent experience but not without its challenges.

The school does not handle racism, homophobia and slurs properly at all. There’s honestly about 3 teachers in the school who recognise they are inappropriate and punish students for using them. There is overwhelming pressure from teachers to grade in level 8+ and anything below is not good enough. The food is wayyyy overpriced and not worth the money at all.

this school literally employed a racist white man as their english teacher that said the n word 24/7 and did nothing about him until he finally left
almost every teacher is white and don't care abt racism lol

i think that this school is amazing and that the teachers there just seem to enjoy teaching. Every day I look forward to going to school
:)

teachers literally don't afte abt how much you're struggling just ur grades, unorganised as anything. I have witnessed a spilt drink be left long enough to go moldy in the heart.

Vast majority of teachers just don’t seem to care.

Love it! Wonderful environment. :)

its ok i guess but the chemistry teacher i have is horrible i hate her shes so horrible

Awful, unorganised and teachers don’t care.
