Lilydale Primary School

My experience at this school so far is bad. Sometimes it’s good. The education is pretty decent. But, teachers yell at students in front of the whole class. Tell them not to cry and they don’t have a reason to cry after they yell. Forcing them to do sport. And some don't care about student comfort. 5-6 grade teachers tell you that they’re preparing you for high school when they tell you something you don’t like or when they are brutally honest to the point it just annoys you being near them. I’ve had a bad experience with a teacher last year. The teacher forced me to do sport. I told the teacher I didn’t feel comfortable doing it and I should be respected to. The teacher told me to get out of their face. So I did, and sat down, sobbing the rest of the afternoon. The teacher came up to me again saying I was disresptful towards them. Yes, I pointed my fingers at them but I couldn’t control my emotions and actions during that time. Got told I was in the wrong, but some girls comforted me. And my school camp wasn’t good this year. I got told I should figure it out after I mentioned the random assigned tables each meal. I cant control that. Cried 3 times at when I had to sit with people I didn’t feel comfortable talking to. And a teacher only came up to me to ask if I was okay with like 20 minutes left when I was nearly in tears. (I told that teacher I felt uncomfortable about this seating thing). The education is nice and breakfast club :) Some staff are really nice. And lastly, in the girls’ bathroom in the BER people write with their poo on the stall doors. We don’t know who. Overall, I don't recommend sending your child here. Small school and small playgrounds.
