Copperfield College

"Great school but is very strict with their stupid dress code teachers are great just wish they were a better school and put up with fights better but overall it’s a good school"

"I’m currently a year eight student here, and I want to provide an unbiased review of this campus. Many of the reviews here are obviously satire, or unhelpful/spam. If you are a parent researching where to enrol your child, PLEASE read this review. The best quality of this school is its green school grounds. There is a flat oval with a football and cricket area (though I will admit nobody plays cricket here, and now it has a bin on it), along with several outdoor areas for the junior and senior students. Both have downball squares with tarps over them. At least one form of sport can be comfortably played in any form of weather. There are toilets accessible outside, but they have recently been locked and require permission to enter. I usually do not need to use these toilets, but if your child has a medical condition in which they may need to use the bathroom frequently, you may want to ask for this to be changed. The staff here are highly flexible with conditions relating to mental health, disability, and wellbeing. It should also be noted that there are no ramps that I know of to enter the buildings. If your child Is physically disabled, it may be challenging to get from place to place. There is also a PE room with two large wooden floors which can be used by up to four classes at once. PE is done twice a week, but there are also extracurricular and after school activities. To my knowledge, these are not accessible during recess and lunch. If you have done a tour of this school, you would have most likely seen the numerous posters that have been placed to “promote diversity”. The majority of the student body do not agree with this message. Students with mental disabilities, students who are LGBTQ, and otherwise any other child who could be considered an “outsider” are heavily bullied and often do not seek help. Many of the students here bully others for their differences, and it has led several students to have public breakdowns and attempt self harm. Some students here are violent. Absolutely push the school to take action if your child starts to be bullied, ignoring the problem makes it worse. I’ve been called a r*tard and f*ggot more times than I can imagine. This school has a “wellbeing team” designed to deal with mental health problems students may have. They are extremely helpful and will report what they hear to higher officials in the school, who then deal with the problem. Unfortunately, some particular individuals bully others so much, or “don’t mean what they say”, and therefore take forever to be dealt with. This place is NOT a safe environment for LGBGQ and autistic individuals. Teachers here are either extremely good or extremely bad. Some teacher care about their students, award them for trying, and care about their mental health, but many do not care about their students, and teach their classes poorly. Students may fail a class because of how it was taught. My grade was changed for a 0 to an N/A in one class because of how poorly it was taught. In summary, this school is a mixed bag. It has worse services than I would expect from a school. Unfortunately, it was one of the only schools in my area I could attend. The others are either religious or are known for their fights. This is a poor quality school, where students have to fight to be treated fairly."

"I don't regret writing and sharing the truth about this school. What I have seen and experienced at this God forsaken school is unacceptable. If you truly care for the wellbeing of your child and their education DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED CHILD TO THIS LOW CLASS SECONDARY "so called" college. Teachers are a JOKE!!!! and students are undisciplined and extremely uneducated. The department of education should really step up and make extreme changes and audit this school. And in fact the only reason you're seeing 1 star instead of no star is because this post wouldn't upload without giving a star. So in reality this school doesn't deserve even a speck of a star."

"felt that the education was good but when i look over my shoulder sometimes i can see a small gremlin like creature just demolishing a big mac behind the window i just dont understand how this school works with this animal? since last year i saw 4 of them, so there has to be a source for these spindly limbed creatures that roam the school when you are not looking. overall i rate this a 2 out of 5 due to that one thing i cannot say due to legal precedent"
