Peter Carnley Anglican Community School, Wellard | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We love PCACS! My children go to this school. A great school all round. Gives children the opportunities to grow into the best versions of themselves. Also love the fact that one can inquire or ask for any sort of clarification relating to their child and they will happily be assisted and answered to the best of the knowledge available. I recommend!

Honesty, I wouldn’t recommend this school. It was the worst decision I’ve ever made about my child. My kid was traumatised because of attitude and had to seek help after. Received a warning letter from the principal and the only reason listed was ‘cannot demonstrate the school value’ and it was issued without a meeting with the principal in person. The academic performance was also mentioned, but my child got top rank and was way above the school average. Felt guilty I didn’t stand up for my child. Of course the teachers are qualified in paper, but otherwise, I highly doubt. My kid was told face to face at school ‘You are not amount to anything’, ‘ You are born evil’. My kid was picked up at the centre of the playground and was humiliated in public almost every day the last month of schooling there. My kid opened up to the teacher talking about the feelings at the rite journey which all the kids was told whatever you talk about will be confidential unless it’s about violence and sexual, but was blamed. When I called the senior head teacher confronting about this, “Guess what your kid told everyone? Bla bla bla.” was the reply. When a kid whose parent is a school teacher at the school lost the tie, my daughter was pulling out before the Naplan test and was told ‘ Better admit it now and things won’t get any worse.’ only because my child hadn’t worn a tie for the last month but was wearing one on that day. I even got a call asking if my child had got a second tie because the tie we bought was worn off. Of course I was angry and called the senior head teacher confronting about pulling my child out right before the Naplan test, ‘ It was not right before. The test was after recess and I pulled her out before recess’ was the answer I got. It has been a while, but I still feel angry about what my child had to go through. It was the worst decision I made. Really, I don’t recommend this school.

I highly do not recommend sending your child here all they care about is the academic benefits they receive from higher marking students the high school system is a mess most of the head teachers would put the blame on you bunch of stuff happens like a kid getting bashed and they would just sweep it under the rug just to have a good look most of the teachers would have a go with you probably if they don’t like you and they take literally everything seriously you can’t even go do normal thing like go to the bathroom during class you have to go to the sign in area they right your name down on a list and send an email to you parents just for using the toilets the rules are terrible the schools just in it for the money grab it’s just as good as Gilmore at that point they would blame students for random things if they can’t find out who did it and always threaten with suspension for small thing like filming a video with your friends u would probably be better going to kings or something but DO NOT SEND YOU CHILD HERE!

Bill walks to school, He crosses the road whilst glued to his phone. He does not look sideways crossing the road and does not pay attention to the road. (This plays into the theme of road safety and how we should always be cautious crossing the road)

One of the head teacher’s told me my du-rag which is a head where accessory commonly used among the black culture for your hair was gang affiliated they didn’t even know the name of what it was called just assumed that it’s gang affiliated even though we were aloud to where accessories the colour of your house I’m personally annoyed how easy you get profile’d at this school that’s down right rude to say I didn’t even get apology from them
