poor school timetable
Not very happy with the school because after dropping my kids off to school, I have other errands to run. they unexpected cancelled the school for the day and I had to leave my work to pick up my kids. not that I have any issue picking my kids up but It's just the unclear timetable that they have. disturbed a lot of my work for the day.

Lack of care
In my experience, Vice Principal Venturi showed no genuine interest in listening to or supporting students. Concerns were brushed aside, and there was a noticeable lack of care or empathy in addressing important matters. It’s disappointing to see leadership at a school take such an indifferent approach.

disappointment
As a quiet and respectful student, I found it difficult to be heard or supported by certain teachers, especially when concerns were raised. In one subject, I was wrongly accused of something I didn’t do, and when I tried to explain and asked for clarification multiple times, I was ignored. What frustrated me most was the inconsistency in marking. I provided correct answers with clear explanations, yet was given zero marks without proper feedback, while others received partial credit for similar answers. It feels like outgoing or loud students are favoured more, and quieter ones are overlooked, even when they work hard. I hope the school looks into fair treatment and support for all types of students, regardless of personality. It’s really disappointing and sad to see some teachers clearly favour certain students, giving them significantly more attention while ignoring or disliking others.

bad, but could be worse
incredibly boring school, teachers do nothing to make classes even remotely interesting. difficult to keep up with work, and the entire environment is just generally depressing. the only redeeming quality is how not-strict it is. Teachers are generally really nice and don't care overly much about uniform. you’re allowed to wear your sports uniform everyday, and people just wear pretty much whatever pants they want as long as it’s right colour. full of vapes and mullets and overall just not a gre...

Can you say scam?
Hi, ex-student here you might want to pull up a chair as I tell you about this so called art school. This school wastes its money on buildings for school tours while talking themselves up spending I'd say about 10% of there budget at best on the lower school as to give the appirence as though they are who they claimed. I chose to go to this school as of there so called arts program. However by year 9 half the classes are cut so by vce classes you haven't taken are all that's available with about 8 classes to choose from. What's worse is the quote un quote learning, by the time you hit year 10 all the learning you do, you do yourself because they stop teaching you anything. The school does nothing about bullying either. So in short save yourself or your kids from the scam that is Melba.
