I am writing to provide a formal review of my experience at St Ursula’s College Toowoomba, focusing on the school’s safety concerns and its apparent inability to address bullying effectively. My intention is not to tarnish the reputation of the institution but rather to shed light on the issues I encountered during my time there, in hopes of prompting improvements for current and future students.

First and foremost, I regret to state that St Ursula’s College Toowoomba does not meet the standard of a safe educational environment. My personal experience and observations lead me to conclude that the school has a significant problem with bullying. It is essential to address this issue, as it directly affects the well-being and educational experience of the students.

I have personally been a victim of bullying during my time at St Ursula’s College Toowoomba. The presence of bullies was pervasive, and their actions had a detrimental impact on my academic and emotional well-being. This is not an isolated incident, as I have witnessed many of my peers suffering from similar experiences. The school’s failure to curb such behavior creates an environment where students feel unsafe and unsupported.

One of the most concerning aspects of my experience was the apparent inaction of the staff regarding bullying and social pressure. While it is reasonable to expect that not all instances of bullying can be prevented, it is the responsibility of the school to address these issues swiftly and effectively. Unfortunately, the staff at St Ursula’s College Toowoomba fell short in this regard. They seemed to be either unwilling or unable to take the necessary steps to intervene and protect the students.

Furthermore, it is my belief that some members of the staff at St Ursula’s College Toowoomba are either inadequately trained or personally disinterested in addressing the needs of the students. Their response to bullying and social pressures was often minimal, and they lacked the knowledge and tools to handle these issues effectively. This creates a culture of negligence that perpetuates the cycle of bullying and harassment within the school.

In conclusion, my experience at St Ursula’s College Toowoomba was marred by safety concerns and a lack of effective response to bullying and social pressure. The school needs to take immediate action to address these issues to ensure a safer and more supportive environment for its students. It is my hope that this review serves as a catalyst for positive change within the institution, benefiting both current and future students.

This school is the worst school it’s very racist they don’t take racism seriously and the teachers say racist things and the n word and kids are racist they don’t do anything pretends to be a good school why am I paying 20 dollars just to get my self food for the day
I attended the school for 2 years and I did not enjoy my time there at all. Majority of the teachers that work there are horrible, rude and unfair. I only had about 4 teachers that I actually liked. The uniform requirements are completely unacceptable and the fact that it costs $80 for A skirt is unnecessary. There are very few nice students that attend the school, you feel constantly judged for everything you do and have to pretend to be a different person so you will feel accepted not only by the students but the staff as well. They also expect the students to vacuum, sweep and mop the classroom after school hours. They also expect you to change in and out of your sports uniform every time you have a hpe class and you had better watch out if your not wearing your tie in the winter or a spray jacket when it’s not raining. Also I have been in trouble many times for playing hand ball or soccer on the oval at break times, because your not aloud to have fun at the school either. And on Thursday they expect you to bring food to share with the rest of the class, there have been times that I have been bullied for not bringing a cake on my birthday and the teachers didn’t do anything about it all they said was “you were supposed to bring a cake today” and basically encourage the other students to continue the disgusting behaviour. There are also events that occur throughout the year such as the boat race and they force you to spend your time and money buying resources that you shouldn’t have to buy, last year I was pressured into spending about $50 on resources. Overall the school is terrible, it has very few positives. I would not recommend sending your child there as it is basically hell on earth.
I actually like going here with just a few issues. I was threatened by a girl in my grade and so far, I haven’t heard her getting in trouble for it, even though I have been promised that I would hear an update. I’ve also had issues with getting my ASD support for 2 years. I only started getting the support this year.
What an amazing school! Went for the Open day (had previously toured the school a couple of weeks earlier) and am just more in love now and definitely know it’s the right place for our girl. They genuinely mean every face has a place.
