Rethink your choice

This school suck they don’t teach the students properly and the teachers just yell at everyone. There’s teachers who favourtise students and then hate others.when I went there I was yelled at a lot for nothing.mine and a friends parents was emailed for looking out a window for 2 seconds but then everyone else would look out the window and not get in trouble I don’t recommend sending anyone to this school

I’m also a student at emmaus and let me tell you this school isn’t nice, there’s favouritism, racism, fat shaming, people telling you to kill your self, the teachers barley teach and just put on videos and expect them to learn from that but they also help students who don’t need it and leave the others to figure it out themselves

I’m a student at emmaus and this one teacher gave us an assignment on the day the draft was due and they said that they gave it to us 2 weeks ago and they gave us one more lesson for us to finish the draft and they don’t even help us and most of us don’t know what to do for the assessment and we gave is a ruff draft and some haven’t even finished it

Do not send your child to this school.

I’ve been at Emmaus since prep and I do not have many happy memories of this place and its teaching.

The teachers and teaching methods.
The teachers do not teach right or help students properly, Many of my past friends and years many people have struggled with classes as the most the teachers do is right the lesson on the board for us to copy down. Many have spoke to the school about this issue but things have not changed. Many have left and are going to leave soon because of the lack of help they are getting on general class work and assignments.

The community.
Many say that the Emmaus community is a loving and welcoming community but I highly disagree with that. From what I’ve known from my experiences is that the students at the school are reckless, break rules all the time, and instead of the school doing something about it they give them a minor punishments as spending their break time in one spot with the friends they got in trouble with. The students at this school bully anyone and judge everyone and my mental health has decreased majorly from these experiences. The bullying in the school is caused from little things such as not having a phone, or just others thinking you are weird. Most people talk bad about their so called friends and treat them terribly and many of the students can agree with me. The school wants the students feedback but as soon as it’s submitted it is discarded and not considered though many think they take notes, they do not. The teachers are rude to all the students most of the time, Yelling if someone as little as asks for a pencil. The environment is disruptive and I can never focus on the task at hand as most of the students are yelling and messing around.

Peer pressure
The peer pressure that is in this school is unlike another I have been pressured to do many reckless things that I know my parents would not approve of such as drinking alchohol, energy drinks, Going into relationships, Vaping/smoking and Do reckless and disruptive things. And I believe many will agree with me on the peer pressure.

I hope this enlightens you not to send your child to this school for the many reasons listed above.
(I most likely have more reasons on why and if I do they will be listed below as a reply or another review)

High school

Awful school. Rampant bullying.

Bullying here is rampant.

So while I attended Emmaus College for term 3 and 4 of grade 8 I was kind to a student with a rare disease which I hadn’t met. I didn’t want to take the word of others on this student and showed him respect and dignity. While talking to this student at lunch the entire 8th grade approached us and began bullying myself and him. I’m not sure on his history of what made him so hated but I’m not exaggerating when I say the entire grade approached us. He got up and left.

Another student at the school would frequently walk up to me and knock my lunch out of my hands.

A teacher was drinking wine with other teachers outside our class as we approached the Christmas holidays.

I just don’t have any positive memories of my short time attending this school. After attending 3rd term I had begged my mother to pull me out. She did upon completing the year.

The facilities are fairly new and the school has expanded since. However it’s not worth it at the cost of your child’s mental health and the forced catholicism down your child’s throat. Which should have been completely optional for students to decide on attending. However being a catholic school, it is forced because it’s the price to pay for the church to fund your child’s education, to groom them into the Catholic religion. Which I was born into but had chosen not to follow.
