Minarah College 264 Wilson Road, Green Valley, New South Wales 2168

"Ex student and graduate from this school. Absolutely appalling they’ve raised the prices to $700 a term and are extending classes for senior students till 7:30pm. The teachers have been leaving at an alarming rate and students are suffering under failing and weak leadership. Very disappointed this school is standing near a mosque."

"This school is only good if you want your child to be overworked and really stressed out, and if your child falls behind or does not live up to their expectations you'll be left behind. This school is not good for someone trying to improve their academics and doesn't even take into account the effort for any assignments and overlooks many issues such as hygiene, bullying problems and religious values, the uniform is also inconvenient during summer times; though they do have air conditioning, their needs to be a uniform re-do. Fees are generally acceptable for a private school but the uniform shop is generally unorganised for a school that values uniform so highly. Teachers who are able to actually go out of their way to assist students to meet the unforeseen standards this school places upon its students are for some reason more likely to be fired. There was a teacher in this school who was able to teach well and get a long with students but was sacked over just flat out not being perfect towards what the superiors expected, even though his job was done well? That's just immoral. This school also has a bad job of dealing with issues between students, they always try to use the power of suspension or expulsion INSTANTLY, there is no remorse or attempts towards other solutions and when someone who does something worse than the first person somehow ends up facing a worse consequence? This makes no sense. The school is still developing so there are many issues and inner issues, and racism is another issue to bring up there have been instances where a certain person was trusted more by a teacher within a quarrel just over race this is absolutely unacceptable. GVIC also doesn't emphasise safety to a high enough degree, though this is improving slowly. The teachers need to attempt to be more understanding of student issues and have empathy, the coordinators could also be more pro active rather than dallying over such petty issues and focus on the bigger picture. The gender separation is understandable as this is a religious school but if they're just friends with the opposite gender you should at least have some god damn acceptance? There needs to be better teacher hired and be valued. There are many people who could be doing a better job here. The students are often victimised and feel trapped when they can't get a high enough grade. The positives are the facilities other than the toilets the food tech room is more than adequate and is better than most public high schools, art room is decent but could use better art, Library, Auditorium and "Hall" also serve their purpose. There also needs to a better elective choice and more languages to learn other than Arabic, such as perhaps Persian, Turkish, Urdu to name a few. HSC courses could use more variety but are acceptable as is. The schools schedule could use a re-do lunch and recesses are typically short but i'm sure solutions are being looked into here."

"The new deep leaning home projects are soo annoying, why am i paying fees for the child to keep them home during school days? Do they not understand that parents work and cannot just keep the children at home. Stupid new systems developed by the principal"

"I would give them a no star. Absolutely frustrating to deal with them. Deputy principles are Absolutely rude. Talking to them is like banging your head on the wall. School has uniform policies that are ridiculous. Has become more of a business than an educational institution."
