Belmont City College

The teachers are alright, some teachers can be a bit bossy and up themselves, the school is really diverse and I think that is one of the positives, there is a difference between the ATAR and General student, with me having done General (and done pathway A for year 10) you can definitely see different attitudes from teachers and students. The school likes to show off its Drama program A LOT, they have a great music, and dance program also has really good STEM programs and excellent deaf and aboriginal programs too (a lot of programs isn't there? The only problem I have with the school is maybe the student's behaviour, they really need a Chaplin for the school, they DID have one but that was 5 years ago. Fights happen, kids vape in the toilets and act like they own them, people WILL judge you for liking something, had one of my friends threatened by another student in metalwork. Also, the Canteen food is just really overpriced and taste crap (it has good cookies though).

Horrible school, teachers don't often pick on me when my hand is raised up high for what feels like hours. Hated Drama Camp, left me with more trauma then the actual school itself.

BCC is doing an excellent job in promoting academic success for high school students. Its ATAR, TAFE, Drama, and A+ programs all contribute towards a high-achieving ideal. Additionally, the school has several disability focused programs to ensure the success of its students who ask for extra help, without judgement. The school uniform policy is firm (detention is issued for dress code violations), considering it is a low soc-ec public school, but makes for a strong, unified appearance. Unfortunately, the school also fails where it should succeed. Student morale is low; teachers are few; cleanliness is a struggle; fights are frequent; and, despite encouraging students who are already aiming for success, the school does little to encourage and support students who do not yet have those goals. It leads to a large gap between 'general' and 'ATAR' students in their final yeard that promotes bullying (on both sides). Overall, this school was a neutral experience for me. I cannot say the same for my peers, but I know that my time at BCC was one of many highs and lows.

They have a range of specialist program to offer , I especially like drama it's fun , socialising and you get to go on camps . The school is very disability friendly and has lots of E As to help students. Their canteen is good but doesn't haveay gluten free and vegaterian options . There is quite a bit of problems with students misbehaving and have drama also the have a large bullying problem but most teachers deal with it.also not the cleanest school ever.
