Templestowe College

"Gonna use a different account so nobody recognises me (hopefully) Sean is a cool teacher, teaches both the computer programming and computer game design electives on his own. oh yeah the school is good too i guess"

"Work is practically optional with how little they expect from you. Male bathrooms are left vandalised and disgusting without much repair. Teachers range from nice or helpful to annoying and condescending. Overall would not recommend unless your someone who easily sets their own learning goals. For anyone else goodbye steady learning curve."

"to many emos there were so many that I nearly turned emo it was scary. This kid there punched me because i got his pronouns wrong"

"I’m in the Montessori stream, just moved into TC and I am loving it! So laidback but you learn so much. I highly recommend! I don’t know as much about mainstream but it sounds good too. The electives are fun and engaging and the fact that we don’t have to wait till year 9 to get electives is amazing. The Montessori teachers are friendly and accepting and everyone is welcoming and kind."

"As a former student a terrible school. Removed all subjects I wanted to learn the year I was able to study them. With great eager wanting to study and being told to wait until the next year only to have them sequentially removed. This school gave me a great education in disappointment. Teachers allowing misbehaving students to do as the please with endless amounts of warnings ruining education for those that wanted to learn. A threat on my life by a teacher for reasons I still don't know. I can't believe a place that is meant for education can suppress the curiosity of a child. I learnt more in the years after school than I did at TC. Taking away subjects that children are not able to study at home and forcing them to study subjects such as cooking, history, music, media, drama, sports, computers and having to learn a language that one will never use. Even though I knew another language that was given no recognition. It was just a big day care centre for kids that wanted to play, not for people that wanted to learn. If a student wants to study engineering, you let them. It involves maths, history, reading, science even using a camera for analyses. Let children follow their passion, don't force a curriculum and what is the most profitable for staff. A very brief review, can't mention all here. I think it should be illegal to force a child to attend a place of educational suppression. I did request to leave many times, but the principals had no interest, just a number. I hear a lot now about a lack of engineering and manufacturing in Australia, hmm. I have since learnt that I am actually gifted, but also have social anxiety. I would have thought an adult teacher would question why a child has such discomfort giving a speech to a crowd, not force them repeatedly to do it. An absolute waste of 6 years. I hope it has changed since I attended. To any parent that is reading this, if you can't teach your child basic skills such as cooking, you have no business having children."
