Students are bad. And Teachers are close to average. Overall, Meh.
The teachers laughed at my face once for not handing in a consent form. Says a lot about the school. 5 stars because the school might drop a big hint to where i live…..
This school ong sucks so bad, i would rather go to lalor north fr because the things i have witnessed has made my therapist a billionaire. And also, these teachers are bloody stupid because why are they ong walking up to me during my time, and also, get better at teaching because i dont know anything ive learnt ever i swear to god. send your kids to literally anywhere else mwah.
Very well structured and organised school very pleased with my son’s results and progress compliments to the principal and staff doing a great job keep it up
TL/DR: This school tries it’s hardest to be a private school with some quite horrible students. Rules are strict yet barely enforced, and the quality of education at LSC has been at a steep decline for the past few years. Students are horrible.

2/5 for the poor attempt at running a school, incredibly toxic environment and general lack of care.

I was a student at this school for several years, and compared to other schools I have been to, this one was considerably bad.

The environment of the school is quite shoddy, the school lacks any care when it comes to heating and cooling, with buildings that are heavily outdated. Several learning appliances such as projectors or screens for learning are broken and worn to the point to classroom interruption.

The education quality of the school was decent back around 2021, however due to several teacher layoffs and disrupted learning, the school has become a liability within Victoria’s education system. Teachers that were able to keep learning fun and interesting have now left LSC, and since then the school has been in a constant decline of education quality.

The uniform and rules enforced can be boiled down to quite silly. It really paints a picture of how badly the school has tried to mimic SMC with the uniform the school tries to enforce, in which the school had enforced a seasonal uniform policy. The rules of the school are relatively standard apart for a few outliers, such as a rule in the uniform policy causing students to receive detentions for not wearing the correct uniform *WHEN TRAVELLING TO AND FROM SCHOOL*.

The school is also so strict about changing these policies, evident by the fact that a student had to get signatures from almost half the school and then had to still sell the idea to the school’s committees to simply change the previous seasonal policy which was causing issues related to students overheating and freezing because Victoria doesn’t know how seasons work.

And finally, the students. Oh god the students.

LSC’s student demographic is, unfortunately, some of the most troublesome kids within Victoria. To my displeasure, there was a lot of hate speech and violence between students, especially towards LGBT communities, differing ethnic groups and differing religious groups. As of such, the school grounds are often reminiscent of bomb sites, and the school is definitely not a safe space.

Hopefully these things change within future years, as the completion of the new gym hall and classroom buildings are set to complete towards the end of 2024.

Very good school and all staff
