Maryvale College

As a current student, my experience at Maryvale College has been extremely disappointing. In my experience, the school does not take students’ concerns seriously. I have seen and experienced situations where students reported serious issues but felt ignored or unsupported. I have personally felt that reports of sexual harassment, inappropriate behaviour by staff, and other serious student safety concerns were not handled adequately. There is also a severe lack of staff, which affects the quality of education. Students often go without consistent teaching, and the facilities do not reflect the high school fees that parents are expected to pay. In my opinion, the education and environment are not worth the cost. I have also experienced what I believe to be unfair treatment of Black students. From my perspective, there is a culture of discrimination that makes many students feel unwelcome and unsupported. Another major issue is the school’s culture around discipline and accountability. In my experience, some teachers have behaved in ways that I believe are inappropriate, and I have seen students become afraid to speak up because they fear retaliation or intimidation after reporting concerns. The school also feels overly focused on money. It often seems that if you pay for something, you receive opportunities or better treatment, while genuine student wellbeing takes a back seat. This review reflects my own experiences as a student. I hope the school takes these concerns seriously and makes meaningful changes to create a safer and more supportive environment for all students.
