Birrong Girls High School

This school is very bad it does not properly deal with serious situations and is extremely unfair to the student and speaking of the student they have a terrible reputation and are very bad behaved

I have attempted to enrol my daughter at Birrong Girls High School three times over the past two years, and on every occasion she was rejected without any explanation. There was no interview, no discussion, and no opportunity to explain our situation in person. I clearly outlined that this is a special family circumstance. My son attends a school local to Chester Hill, and due to logistics and responsibilities, I am unable to send my daughter to a school outside this area. I also cannot enrol her in our designated local co-educational school, as I have made the informed decision that a girls-only environment is essential for her wellbeing. My daughter has struggled significantly in a co-educational setting and has been negatively distracted by boys, which has impacted her learning, confidence, and emotional health. As a result, she is now experiencing mental health challenges related to trying to fit into a co-ed school environment that has not supported her needs. Despite explaining all of this in detail, our applications were declined each time with no feedback or reasoning provided, which has been extremely disappointing and distressing as a parent simply trying to advocate for her child’s education and mental wellbeing. I believe families deserve transparency, communication, and compassion—especially when mental health and genuine hardship are involved.

Mostly teachers are amazing and do a great job of getting content across to students, school has a large percentage of Muslim students which creates a comforting and supportive environment for students although students tend to have a random racist view toward brown people, obviously liek every school there are bad teachers who can’t control a class or can’t teach content in the best manner and bad students but there are also good teachers and students who aren’t rude. Teachers have NEVER discriminated against anyone based on religion at least for the 6 years I attended the place although some do play favourites.

Some of the teachers at the school are probably the only good thing about the school not only does the school care more about your socks then education the school is racist towards Muslims they don’t provide a good prayer room but once a teacher threatened and did lock 2 girls in a room for praying in there even though it was pouring rain. Not welcoming towards Arabs and overall a very poor school.
