South Oakleigh college is disappointing
Disappointed by this school First of all, the school will worry more about school uniforms than the actual students education. They told VCE students to go home on jersey day due to wearing jerseys on top of denim, this not only violates the enforcement around children's learning but it also disrupts their learning and forces them to miss a whole day of learning. For students who are doing important 3/4 subjects, they cannot just make them go home just due to their uniform even thought it is a s...

Uniform over education.

TERRIBLE SCHOOL IF U SEND UR KIDS HERE YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PARENT
School is a piece of shit. Teachers couldn't care less about the students. Terrible environment for students, racism, sexism, homophobia. Money hungry shithole. Principle is on holiday for 90% of the year. Spends the little funding they get on stuff noone asks for or wants. Well being is atrocious they fired the only good well being teacher they ever had and then stacked it with under qualified people who don't know the first thing about a child's Well-being. Take more care in keeping the stupid...

South Oakleigh Secondary College
This school is the reason I am in therapy. rude teachers and staff, mean students, illegal activity, etc. The staff did NOTHING when being told about students bullying other students. They do not care about the well being of the students at this school, its honestly disgusting. Although the food is good and clean they have little to no vegetarian, gluten free, lactose free, etc options. This is not okay especially because the school wants to show diversity? Does not seem like it to me. The teach...

Horrible place to be.
Look. At first glance, this school is professional and the facilities are fine. Dig in and you find depressed students, revolting cohorts, Bullying, sh*t-talking (constantly), discrimination, and so much more. Materials are lacklustre and staff is lazy. The good teachers are great, but the bad teachers make learning hell for anyone around them. As a person of performing arts, the arts centre is woeful. It’s the last place that they’ll ever put their very little funding. This school is money hungry and negative 100% of the time. Support is little to none, and all staff are two-faced and have a completely different personality to when they are around kids. They all seem to hate teaching so much. Yes, the kids at this school are awful, but teachers should not be taking it out on their students. Especially ones just trying to learn. Uniform policies are so harsh and are very unhealthy. As most people have said, south Oakleigh cares more about socks than suicide. Lockers are tiny and are always so full, and very hard to keep organised. Work is set with unnecessarily high standards right from year 7. This school gaslights students everyday into thinking that they are fine and that they are overreacting and being selfish. The environment here is toxic and uncomfortable to be in. Everyone I know, and myself, hates this school and are fighting battles with their minds 24/7. This school needs help. Don’t send your child here. For their own sake.
