  As someone who was a student at this school from prep to year six (2005-2012), I for one would NOT recommend sending your children to this school. I was teased by most of the girls, pulled my hair and kicked my legs under the desks then blaming it on me and called names such as vampire ('cause I have very pale skin). The boys made fun of me because I was a girl and not 'popular', they threw things at me, laughed when I cried from being hurt (I told my parents but they brushed it off as them liking me). In year 2 I was called lazy because I was too anxious to speak in front of the class. In year 4 I was yelled at because I didn't understand certain things and had trouble writing in cursive. My year 6 teacher never taught our classes properly and only talked about the AFL. When I was enrolling to the secondary school, my enrollment had to be cancelled from moving home, we asked for the refund on my uniform (which was given back to the school) but never got paid back, the school still owes my parents money after about 5 years. Again, I absolutely DO NOT recommend send your children here. Thanks

  I support, and love this school as all my kids do as well and if you don't believe my review, just visit the school and take a look for yourself and make your own mind up on your own first hand observations !

  How interesting it is when people intentionally try to smear mud over a school by saying as many negative things as they can which are unfounded and untrue. I send all my kids to this school and have from Prep 2007. Not only. Have my kids not experienced any bullying, or any issues except for friend spats, but all love their school and would recommend it to any of their out of school friends. Its what I class as cheaper private school with a solid Christian base. Cheaper than any other private schools around, but in no way cuts any corners, better small class sizes, better sense of community as the schools not Huge ! I know a few of my friends who decided not to spend the extra money to be private, and are having so many issues at a close public school they told me they will send their kids back to Edinburgh ! I also know my older Daughters friend moved from another prominent school in the area O....... due to issues she was having there and her parents always talk about how much she loves it at Edinburgh.

  Edinburgh College is the only school we found in our extensive searching that could cater for our two kids in the same year level -- a big ask, as they are chalk and cheese! We love the caring touch that a small school can offer, coupled with the excellence in teaching that we expect. We recommend the College to anyone looking for quality education in a nurturing environment for their child.

  If as the "so called previous student" review said, it's a 1out of 5 star school, why then did they continue to go there for 7 years?

  why did they continue to PAY thousands more to supposedly send their "daughter" to such a "bad place"when there are so many other schools around the area, and free public schools! Doesn't make any sense to me at all!

  All my kids love the primary school. They are happier here than their last school, grades are increasing, no bullying I've ever heard of, just tops. If you want a cheaper private school where your kids can learn good values or just be better, this is the place. Highly recommend .

  So, don't believe all the bad bad reviews you read, as usually they are not telling you the truth and are written by people who love the ability to attack someone on the internet without any repercussions.

  Was there for half of my schooling years, the only reason I left was due to the lack opportunity regarding the career path of trades but otherwise it is a fantastic environment to learn in, small classes when I was there ment that the teachers could spend more one on one time and how beautiful the grounds are and always have been immaculate, it was a privilege to experience as a child, never realised how good it was till I was gone :).
