Horrible enrolment experience
The school necessarily destroys your child's future. The SEAL program test is really rigged, (it's off-site and online) and they require NAPLAN history and competition history to determine whether you're cheating. This completely dismisses students who have improved. Also, they are comparing you to your self from 2 years ago. The enrolment forms are also torturous. over 30 pages of print-out forms which you need to photograph to send to the administration. Takes hours to do. Staff were also really rude and intolerant on the information night.

Don’t send you kids here
The girls are toxic and all vape and bully each other. the teachers are racist if your not white. The teachers think if your Asian you smart ( in my case that’s what I saw). Most schools in this area sucks. Don’t go here. Facilities are ass and the buildings are small. the old gyms smells like shit.

School culture
The school culture is awful. Girls pull each other down to make themselves feel better. I was bullied and the administrative staff did nothing to make it stop. They did enough to say that they did "something" but it kept going through subtle classroom interactions that teachers said they were "monitoring" but they did nothing. The bathrooms were disgusting, constant graffiti on the walls, toilet seats coming loose and a lack of toilet paper.

canterbury girls secondary college is not a good school
I am absolutely appalled and disgusted by the way this school has handled recent incidents involving my daughter and her friend. The level of negligence and lack of accountability from the staff is completely unacceptable. First of all, my daughter and her friend were physically assaulted on school grounds, and not only did the teachers fail to step in or protect them, but they also did nothing afterwards. To make matters worse, when I tried to reach out to discuss the situation, I was lied to and then hung up on. This kind of behaviour from school staff is disgraceful and completely unprofessional. And if that wasn’t bad enough, there was a student who brought a knife to school, putting countless students in potential danger. Yet again — nothing was done. I don’t care what excuses are being made or what “special needs” status this student has; safety should come first. Every student deserves to feel protected at school, and this failure to act is beyond unacceptable. There was also a scenario where a girl stole a very expensive belonging from another girl and the staff did absolutely nothing, and the girl got away with it and skipped all punishments
