Does anyone has any views on Mandurah senior college. I've been on their website and it seems like a good school. Does anyone know anyone that goes there? Good/bad experiences/views would be much appreciated.

hi andy

is that the catholic college? if it is then the agent john nyes kids go there he says the school is outstanding apparently it takes kids from kinderkarten right up till they finish, the only down side i can see is there are about 1000 kids that go there (but hey that may not be a bad thing)

No Mandurah Catholic College is a totally different, private school, with a good reputation, along with Frederick Irwin Anglican school and all other private schools in the region. League tables results for private schools are generally much higher than your average government school, ie somewhere like Manduah Senior College. For the past few years the score for this school has been rather low for TEE subjects (A levels), so if your child/ren are hoping to attend uni, probably better to go private. The scores for the general school leaving exams are usually ok, so the school would probably be fine if you're looking at going to college afterwards, doing an apprenticeship etc. The school does appear to be rather relaxed with school uniform code and I know one pom whose children go there, and he was shocked to find so much free time on the timetable, where there are no lessons and the kids are free to wander off site if they wish!
