Very tasty fruits and veggies! The farm tour was the best. We got to pet alpacas goats and a bull. We also got to see kangaroos. Recommend this place if you’re an animal lover
As a past student of this school I can say that it was not great at all. The bullying aspect of this school is horrendous. The staff here are either clueless or do not care and one teacher in particular Mr zidcovik (Mr Z) seems to get enjoyment from demeaning and belitting students rather than showing them an ounce of compassion and support. He should not be working the the school system what so ever. I received councilling by their school support worker who then up and left without a word. Was transferred to another support worker who came on board to the school who I can't remeber the name of and she was awful!! Not someone you want to be supporting your child at all. The programs this school offers are wonderful the experiences and the farm are great, the woodworking and electronics department are also fantastic but majority of the teachers and staff let this schools culture and atmosphere down. The only teachers I can give props to are Mr Heynemann, Mr Anderson and mrs lively. They were kind compassionate and wanted to actually teach students. If the culture and staff at this school upped their game and actually implemented bullying programs and more support for struggling students then this would be a great school but they fall far too short in this aspect. I was bullied by teachers deamened and belittled by staff as a child. And thats not the kind of environment you want your child to experience. Also had teachers break my art project and blame me for it and loose my research project once I handed it in. Not a vibe.
I reckon Urrbrae has to be one of the best schools because of its agriculture program, which people say is really good.
I had attending this school in my earlier years of my life, the teacher were atrocious. The school put the bear minimum into the students and their wellbeing. The worst teacher Mr Z made schooling there very difficult due to his very disrespectful behaviour to the students attending. But the best teacher Mr Brokus. The farm taught me many things that I will use in my further life.
It’s is good but not great the agriculture if awesome tho
A wonderful and full education can be had at this School. Broadens your outlook on life. Especially if you live in the city. Worth travelling the distance. I am an old scholar. Attended Urrbrae in the 1960s.
Great school. I've never felt so horrified of the education system in my life. The teachers sound like they've gone through a stroke when explaining subjects, this doesn't promote very much confidence in the students, as we can all sense the teacher him/herself not particularly understanding the subject. bullying in this school almost counts as a 5th subject perfected during outside of class ( The most time we have interacting with other students). By sending your kids here you by extension promote and support their future in the worst possible way. This turns good docile students into wanted criminals.
