Thornlie Senior High School, Thornlie | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

This school is a profound disappointment, with numerous concerns that need addressing. For the sake of brevity, I will focus on the most critical issues in this review. Firstly, there is a lack of communication regarding student progress; test results are not shared promptly and teachers are barely accessible for parent-teacher discussions.

Secondly, hygiene standards at the school are alarmingly poor. Gum can be found stuck to chairs, tables, and even walls. Despite the high cleaning costs associated with this issue, it seems the school has chosen to ignore it. Consequently, anyone who inadvertently touches these gums risks falling ill. Thirdly, the school appears indifferent to incidents of bullying or physical altercations. I’ve witnessed numerous fights here, with teachers occasionally ignoring them to avoid paperwork. Ultimately, you or your parents bear the responsibility for any medical bills incurred from severe injuries. The most the school might do is suspend you to “reflect on your behavior”. Fourthly, and most importantly, the issue of vaping and smoking is prevalent among students in this school. While it’s not all students, the health concerns are significant as vaping can be as harmful as cigarettes, if not worse. Unfortunately, the school’s efforts to address this issue have been inadequate. Their approach of using PowerPoint presentations during homeroom last year is ineffective in deterring students from this harmful habit. If you’re reading this, I would advise against enrolling in this profit-driven school. You’ll thank yourself for making that decision one day.

I just want to give a shout out to Michelle, so easy to talk to and very helpful! Have any question regarding payment etc she is the one to talk to. Helpful 100%.

Worst bullying of any school in the state. The teachers and senior staff just stand around and watch the youngest kids get attacked by mobs of over 20 kids and do nothing. They deny support to students, lie to parents and condone a horrifically abusive environment. I am completely disgusted with this school. Even driving past at 3pm there are groups attacking individuals across from the school while atleast 3 ‘staff’ in fluoro vests stand around and watch. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were taking bets. I’m taking my kids out. I would prefer to pay private fees and give up eating. Do not send your year sevens here. They are lambs to the slaughter.

I was class of 94.
Can agree with others the majority of teachers are useless and turn a blind eye to bullying. Some were even closet racists and allowed racist agendas in their classroom(Hesp).
The bubble gum under desks and on on the brick walls people have mentioned arent 10 years old, they were at least 10 years old in the 90s. At least 40yr old gum.

Back then, the school was full of white english/anglo white closet racists.

There were gems of teachers though, like Mr Falconer and Ms Partridge. But final year, the principle was utter rubbish… “K BRYANT” if i recall. I was on P plates at the time leaving school and the idiot would pull out of the carpark in his white 4WD without looking and almost crash into other cars. The principle before him was not much good either.

If I’d give 0 stars I would. It’s only getting one star because of my high school crush, science teacher Miss Megan Partington. Her fit was 10/10, especially with those tight stirrup pants.

was alright, left in 2021. some teachers were quite good while some, not so much.
