Capalaba State College

Senior campus has Really poor leadership. Deputy's are lacking big time. None of the kids respond to discipline as its so inconsistent. The rules seem to be for show as some kids get in trouble for having earrings, necklaces etc while other students (even senior captains) have several necklaces on and earrings all up their ears. There is scheduled fights in the toilets and these are recorded and put on socials. They say they care but they dont.

The Staff are allowed to yell at students and name call students and nothing is done about it. Communication is so poor between the school and parents they rely on Daymap and that is a best working properly one day out of five. The senior campus is a mess, has deteriorated so much is the last year. Wasted subjects like "board games" while they struggle in other classes ? Be aware.

From one parent to another, I would strongly advise reconsidering sending your child to this school. After many years at the school, we’ve started to notice just how bad it really is once you begin digging beneath the surface. * Poor behaviour management: Bad behaviour is not properly addressed, creating a disruptive environment for students. * Lack of communication: There’s a significant gap in communication between the school and parents, making it difficult to stay informed about your child's progress or any issues. * No extracurriculars: The school offers very few extracurricular activities, limiting development opportunities for students. * Instability in leadership: Constant changes in staff and leadership have created an environment of uncertainty and lack of direction. * No improvements: There’s no visible effort or drive to improve the school environment or student experience. * No sense of community: There’s no cohesive sense of belonging or community within the school. * Policies are for show: The school has policies in place that seem to be there just for appearances, but they aren't effectively enforced or followed through in practice. On a positive note, there are some great teachers at the school who genuinely care about the students and try their best to provide a positive and safe learning experience. However overall, the lack of stability, support, consistency and poor leadership makes this school a challenging place for children to thrive. I would recommend looking into other options if you want your child to feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. Good kids don't leave for no reason.

The school admin (Senior Campus) really needs to get their stuff together, an example from this year they had weeks of messed up timetables that they were very slow to fix, and had multiple timetable clashes for numerous kids causing un-needed stress.
