Mcauley House School

I'm a student of McAuley house School and I'm in grade 11 ,the one thing that I don't like about my school is the behaviour of teachers,the teachers at my school are great but the way they treat learners is unacceptable because they judge a learner according to their behaviour yes they must reprimand a learner if they are doing a wrong thing but at McAuley they they humiliate us .I travel with a real vaya to school and there are a few teachers who also travel with it ,yes they mind their own business but there is that one teacher/ receptionist who always sticks her nose into a learner's business,she once accused me and the child in which I monitor who is in grade 7 of commiting adultery with learners from John Orr, Roosevelt, Parktown boys,rand girls,GCC(Gauteng city College), and Greenside ,she has been accusing multiple learners about this and then lies to the learners parents to get free lifts from that learner's parent(s) .I have also reported her week before last but they just brushed the matter off and said that they will deal with it ,but they didn't until the grade 7 that I monitor whom I regard as my younger sister reported the matter and then it was then dealt with

Parents please if your child travels with a real vaya please look out for that woman because she'll be asking you for a lift home using your child's name and telling untrue stories about them .

Academically, it’s a good school especially since the fees are very reasonable for a private Catholic school. However, they are terrible at handling student affairs.

I went to this school since grade one and I have seen a lot of negative change in regards to the prestige it holds and the respect students are given. It used to be an amazing school that built strong young women, and now its merely a playground where students have to fight for their lives everyday against racist teachers. Students are not heard and are referred to using racial slurs and go top that off, black students (in a majority black school) are not free to express they’re cultural truths while some teachers happily appropriate black culture.

Not to mention that black students had to beg, meeting after meeting after meeting, just to wear their natural hair (Afro’s) to school as if they were in control of how their hair grows out of their head. It’s absurd.
They just throw the Word of God in students’ faces in hopes to cover the fact that they sweep everything under the carpet. These things are just to name a few, including disgusting perverted high school male teachers who made references about students’ legs/skirt, while another male teacher called a classroom full of young impressionable girls “incubators”, spoke a little too much about students’ ‘melons’ and ‘oranges’ (referring to their intimate body parts) and shoved students around because he couldn’t control his temper.

All in all, as someone who was there since grade one, I’ve seen how it’s going downhill gradually as the years progress. Again, regarding academics, the school it all right but handles student affairs very poorly.

Best value for money. Fees are very reasonable compared to what they are offering and also compared to other schools. Very supportive, offer the best both academically and extra-mural activities. For me taking my son there was the best decision ever. The principal highly experienced, very supportive and understanding. I will forever be grateful to McAuley House.

I attended McAuley House since grade 8 and I'm going to grade 11 now. It's a very good school the teachers are very considerate and supportive. What I love about my school is that they make sure that the children don't fail, they work hard in helping them understand where they don't understand. The school also have counseling, it truly helps. McAuley House focuses on giving their learners a bright future. In McAuley House we consider one another family.

They are not good with handling student affairs and are not open to change, even though they claim to be.
