Trinity Christian School, Canberra

Not a perfect school, but overall this place is great. Students are good, most teachers care and try their best. The uniform rules have relaxed recently. Buildings are slowly being renovated over time so classrooms are getting nicer.

Overall it’s a better environment than nearby public schools based on my experiences, safer and not out of control.

Despite paying $9000 a year for primary education, the school is severely lacking in services expected by modern working families. School has no canteen, no holiday care program, virtually no extra curriculum activities, no celebrations or fun days such as discos, colour runs, Easter celebrations. It recently had 8 weeks of school holidays over the summer with no holiday care. The school says that Christian education is a theme that runs through every element of the curriculum. In fact it is the only theme and there is no opportunities for kids to broaden their educational scope or experience. The school community is closed off and focussed on church goers only. The class sizes are very large, f on year 1 they are around 28 kids. I’m not actually sure what parents get for the extra money they pay here. The school has moved to an online platform for communication with limited to no info in child progress. Public schools seem to offer so much more.

School is overpriced, teachers are literal bullies, stupid christian rules like no self defense, stupidly strict uniform, spastic students and education is delayed.
