This is my former school, which I stayed for two years. It was wonderful facilities, including a…read morenewly-built sports gym and countless computers, though they do need to be updated. However, the students aren't the best of all, and they some don't really think much of education. This isn't a complaint, and if I continue to write on I could turn nasty, in which I'm not, so this will be a short review.

Great school, with good teachers (mainly). Exceptional facilities including a boutique main office,…read morenearly an unlimited amount of classrooms. Amazing sporting grounds including a basketball/volleyball/netball courts (not including one with a massive grandstand). They have theatre/hall. Including a 2 synthetic soccer pitches. 3 Tennis Courts and including a new AFL Football Oval. A big amount of students (1,500). On average 250 a year level. However, this is considered okay because other schools like East Doncaster, Marcellin, and Yarra Valley have more, and more than fine because they moderate the students to a perfect amount in one class on average (20-24). Doncaster offers French, Italian and Mandarin (Chinese) as compulsory languages up until year 9 or 10. Some students don't behave too well and is one of the not many few problems/cons of this school. It is extremely hard to get into considering the zone is relatively small and a limited amount of students allowed to attend from outside the zone. The school is in a prime location a 5-15 minute walk from Westfield Doncaster and the school is linked by bus routes running through Westfield and ending up from the city, the pines shopping centre and Melbourne Airport route. The school does above average in terms of atar scores or VCE results and are improving even more as the former Balwyn High School (A very good public school that does better than most private school) principle is now at Doncaster Secondary College. Uniform is okay but some improvements should be made. Overall Doncaster Secondary College is a good-great school and highly reccomend to any looking for a new high school.

When I was young, I thought the coolest thing was going to a coed school - mixed with boys and…read moregirls. After spending two years in an all girls school, I was dying to leave for Wellington Secondary College. I spent two years at this school, half of 8th grade and half of 9th grade. And to be honest, I had the best time of my life! I got to meet BOYS! There's basically two sides the 7th - 8th grade side and the 9th-12th grade side. The division is due to the locker rooms, for example 7-8th grade have the same area locker rooms. From memories, those locker rooms were pretty bad, junky, dirty, and man it was pretty much out on the open door. So, when it rained - the student would hid inside the locker rooms and the floor gets all went and nasty. Getting rob is another problem - students either get rob or got robbed. You're either the too. Sure, my locker got opened a lot because the thief cut it open, so I never leave books inside and just leave it at home. The classrooms. Man, the classrooms - broken chairs, tables, and it's dirty. There are gums stacked everywhere - on the walls, under the table, and so on. Students are very rude to teachers. Teacher just keep on teaching and doing their jobs. Oh... there's a smoker's corner, apparently, this is where all the smokers hang out. And when a teacher walks pass... everyone puts their smokes out and smiles at the teacher. But then again, I had a great time in this crazy school. I learnt one important thing: how to be ghetto, yet be educated at the same time. If I had to send my kids to a school - I wouldn't want to send him or her to Wellington Secondary College. Send your kids elsewhere.
