Winthrop Primary School

This place is amazing, The teachers are great and it's an awesome experience. I've definitely had a good 7 years here

I went to primary school here, and now that I'm about the graduate high school I've been thinking about primary school a lot. This school had great staff in the upper years and the memories from Years 4 to 6 are ones I will treasure. However, I will be calling out Mrs Davies as I am thoroughly disappointed to see she is still employed here. When she was my teacher in Year 3, I was being bullied by a fellow student. I tried to solve it myself and when I couldn't, I went up to her to ask for her help and she did nothing. She told me that I was being 'too sensitive' and to use this experience to 'learn to toughen up'. She used the bully's circumstances as an excuse for their behaviour and offered me no support at all. I still remember my bully laughing at me from behind Mrs Davies as the teacher that I once trusted told me I was being too emotional. I am angered to this day as to how she treated me and dread to think that she has done nothing to help other students at this school when they were in a similar situation. Thank you Mrs Davies, you inadvertently aided in my severe depression and anxiety because you did nothing to stop another student from slowly breaking me down everyday until I thought I was nothing. Pretty much every other teacher I had was great though, especially Mrs Moriarty and Ms Stanton :)

My professional opinionThere are staff to help the teachers/students but all they would do is look over your shoulder and make you tense because they always have a way to do things better."The bullying was very bad due to teachers not doing anything about it

Amazing school, great teachers, great activities, and even a laptop program!

THE MOST AMAZING PRIMARY SCHOOL TO HAVE EVER LIVED/ESTABLISHED AND THE BEST TEACHER IS MS STANTON SOZ MR D SHES JUST BETTER LMAO

Best school ever! so amazing, just fantastic! it soooo fun! #loveMrsKelly'sClass

Leadership team is very disorganised, biased and only focuses on saving money. The front office staff is friendly and helpful.

It's one of the best school with a good and nice environment.

If you want a school that the only thing it cares about is cost-saving at the expense of the children best interest, using Covid as an excuse for cancelling activities and events (we all know the real reason is cost cutting!), ignore and dislike parents, and run the school like a privatised for profit organisation, this is definitely the school for you! Unjustifiable high number staff employed in the leadership team (non teaching staff) who do nothing apart from finding ways to cut cost at the expense of the children learning journey and skill development. I would not recommend sending your children to this school. You will only get disappointment.

This is an amazing school, we celebrate all cultures, discourages bullying and all teachers set an amazing example. I wouldn't have wanted to go to a different school, I'm so happy I get to learn here.
