St Clare's is a negative and mentally damaging enviornnent. I am a past student. Teachers do not teach. They give you text books and do not have any input in your education. And when you ask for help they embarrass you and make you feel incompetent. Teachers gossip with students and from classroom "cliques". From this teachers discuss (with students): grades of other students, discuss grooming of other students and personal information about students. Teachers are verbally abusive towards students. And do bully students. If you ever have your child telling you, that their teacher is targeting/picking on them, PLEASE take it seriously. St Clare's protect their teachers and tell lies for one another to save the reputation of the school as a whole. I witnessed teachers disrespect and shame students on scholarships. Eg. An Aboriginal girl was on an Aboriginal Scholarship, she did not attend class for roughly 2 weeks (for personal reasons). The Teacher approached my classmate in front of our whole class and said to her, "we all pay taxes for you to be able to go to this school, because you can't afford it. So stop wasting our money and get your attendance up". My classmate was embarrassed and extremely upset. And removed herself from her class. There were no implications for the teacher. The teachers excuse was she broke up with her boyfriend and was distressed. Pathetic. These people are meant to educate and inspire us to change ourselves into woman and change the world. Do not send your girls to St Clares! The teachers are bullies and they disgrace everything that St Clare's is supposed to stand for.
