Star College - Bridgetown

Star College Bridgetown is a well established institution that displays nothing but excellence. The school atmosphere is of utmost brilliance and the education provided by the school is of exceptionally high standards. Star College aims to foster broader dimensions of learning critical to students’ overall success. Star College definitely lives up to their saying of “Excellence in Education”.

Honestly, the highschool is kinda depressing. Not much goes on outside of schoolwork. There's no school spirit and it is quite dull.

A lot of the teachers say things that are not true and they spread misinformation.
In my grade (senior phase) the students can be quite toxic, immature and not supportive.
Most students I have asked said that they would rather go to a different school and that they are only there because their parents froced them. The case is the same for me unfortunately.

The sports facilities are sub-par especially when considering the price. They barely have a suitable field.

They say it is a secular school but a lot of the teachers bring religion (usually islam) into the lessons unnecessarily and with an agenda while there are students of other religions in the class.
The school lacks in promoting free and critical thinking as they usually tell students what to think instead of letting them think for themselves.

Parents usually think that the school is so great and that there's not much wrong with but they don't have to go there 5, often sometimes 6, days a week scraping through the long insufferable hours. If they did I am certain their opinion of the school would change.

I know that in the ads and according to what people say Star College seems like a great school. However that's not exactly true to life. Yes they have good acedemics but I believe that there are other things equally as important in the development of a teenager that Star College lacks.

In short:
If your want your child to become a close minded ignorant robot, send them here.


NB: This is of course just my opinion as a student at Star College and others might have other opinions, however as a student and having spent years at the school and among other students I thought it would be beneficial to share what the school is really like for a student who goes there.

Great school. Great teachers. Child-centred learning. Safe, nurturing environment. Good co-operation between board, teachers,parents constantly working towards improving the students' learning experience.

Star college is a great academic school. If you look at the fees yearly, you would expect state of the art sport arenas and gyms but instead of that, they have brought well educated and dedicated teachers from turkey. Not saying that the local teachers are inferior in any way but the foreign teachers have a devoted spirit and attitude.
