Ambrose School Age Care, St Angela's, Castle Hill

This school brought me so many memories as an ex student. I am writing from the class of 2024 and wish I could see what the new school would look like. The old school was so nostalgic, the big oval was an endless supply of happiness and the basketball courts were my heaven. Most of the teachers are really good and some not just like a normal school. I hope this wonderful school has a great future and can change the lives of many young people.

It is good school. Caring and supportive.

very cool school ‼️ I've graduated from this school already but I feel like writing a review. Things I'd like to mention: - ever since 2020 they no longer allow u to play on computers during wet weather :( (when it's raining) - there are some uniform rules aswell: - no ankle socks or logoed shoes or socks - shoes HAVE to be white (only a bit of colour) - hair can only be down if it's above the shoulder - no wrong jackets - shoes have to be polished - no jewellery I guess I understand the hair and shirt rule, but some of the rules just don't make sense. - they replaced our macbooks with old chromebooks. The chromebooks we got were so laggy and our work was deleted whenever we logged out or shut down the computer. (but some classes still use macbooks) - Cross country is compulsory. Its so annoying that you don't get a choice and come back the next day with your leg muscles THROBBING. You even have to do it if you have asthma... Some people like doing cross country but others don't, which is why it should be optional. - ok, instead of points of class cash, there is now tokens! basically, you get given a token when you do something good, then you put it in a box :D. everyone who gets one puts it in the box that corresponds to their grade. so when a certain grade fills up the box, they all get a reward!! the reward is cool, but there's a problem. what if only like 3 people get tokens and eventually fill up the box, but then for the people who didn't contribute at all... it isn't really that fair. and then those people get a reward for doing nothing??? idk why... This school isn't bad though!! Here are some pros: - They are having a renovation that is said to be completed in 2025 :D although I'm sad that they knocked down our old buildings (rip the big top...) and the school currently looks like a barren wasteland, at least they will be able to modernise the buildings a bit more and add second storeys to the classrooms!!! - STEM MAD IS AMAZING!!!!! We would spend lunchtimes working on our project (we even got to skip some classes AND assessments 😈) If you get chosen for the finals, YOU GET TO GO TO MELBOURNE ON A PLANE!!!! Then we got to present our projects in this hall exhibition area and try to get ppl to vote for your project. If you ever get chosen for STEM, I highly recommend joining, I and my Stem friends made a lot of memories <3. :) - Christmas concerts!! They are honestly so fun, even though some of the dance moves are kinda cringe, the whole experience is just fun and memorable. Also cool backflips and cool songs!! :> - extracurricular is nice, they have dance crew, netball, footy, swimming, and other sport stuff. If u aren't a sporty person then u could do band, gardening, debating, STEM and Math Olympiads (but only if you're chosen for them) PETITION TO BRING BACK CHESS CLUB THO - there are mufti days!! (Ik this isnt exclusive to the school but still) like book week (dress as your fav book character), st Patrick's day, and others <3 they are honestly super fun - the people who go here are actually nice. However, this can vary from grade to grade, and you can't be sure of how many rude people may be in your grade. In my experience, people were nice, ofc there was drama but it wasn't as severe as some of the other dramas and experiences that have happened in my high school friends' primary schools. ................................. final thoughts? It is a pretty epic school, I've made a lot of memories and made epic friends. Each grade was pretty memorable, school was fun and senior years were chaotic :0. I hope this school doesn't go downhill in the years to come. :) TL;DR: this school is honestly more than decent. Although there are some flaws, it don't really detriment the experience you'll have at this school. They are currently renovating and implementing new things!! I think what matters most is how Ur teachers and classmates are. If you are enrolling I hope you get a good teacher and fun classmates 🔥

The school offers an impressive array of extracurricular activities, ensuring that every child's interests are catered to. The hardworking staff is dedicated to providing an excellent education and a positive learning environment. The principal's approachability is a standout feature, fostering open communication with parents and students. Additionally, the strong Catholic community feel creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this primary school to anyone seeking a well-rounded education, caring staff, and a sense of community. It's a place where children thrive both academically and personally.

It is good school. Caring and supportive.

Teacher a always picked on certain children I was not one of them, but I was good friends with one of them
