Rivercrest Christian College, Clyde North | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We left school few Years ago, This school has been Good for kids to Socialize , to make friends and other Extra curricular activities. However, school’s oversized classrooms hamper personalized learning, making teaching ineffective. They need to hire better teachers for higher grades.

Honestly so glad we picked rivercrest for our kids. We are still in the early years, but we could not be happier. The staff and the community is far beyond what we could have asked for! Our kids look forward to going to school!

Through the process of enrolling our son, rivercrest have been great to deal with. They offer a great deal of extracurricular activities and options that gives students a place to fit in, no matter what their interest. Whether it be chess clubs, coding, playing an instrument, sport- it’s incredible. Furthermore, I love the idea that every class has an aid, which effective in making sure kids don’t get left behind. Every school in clyde is new and they are finding their feet, but I have no doubt that Rivercrest will be a force to be reckoned with. Especially given how rare it is to find schools that offer IB in Victoria.

We had assumed that its a small school so could be favourable in terms of less students, more attention and discipline among students, but we couldn’t have been more wrong.
In our opinion and from our experience there in two years.
Its a small school with a small school mentality with most of the inefficiencies including bad student behaviour in the classroom with peers and teachers, a few bad teacher attitudes and lack of handling sensitive bullying issues ( they had at that time a joke of wellbeing officer who doubled up as a subject teacher at that time), lack of tackling parental concern, even in sensitive matters; all of that glossed over with new shiny structures, new CRMs and systems in place ,privacy laws and unnecessary protocols expected from parents, whilst not following any themselves, when the rubber hit the road. (even in a particularly sensitive student bullying case) IB education was boring to our kid and our kid was one of the best students there with zero to no defaults in assignments as well as effort and behaviours. But eventually things got boring so much so that we decided to Explore other things. Including the immense option and relevance VCE system holds.

What do you say, when you have staff and students who strive to bring out the best in each other you have a recipe for success.
The IB programme is great for many students.
Grounds are coming along really well, with new buildings being built it’s a lovely learning space.
