What is Wellers Hill State School like?

In comparison to St Elizabeth's School. Information on either would be great.

Wellers used to be a wonderful school community however with recent changes both teachers and children seem to be unsettled. Many pulling children out to move school. Sad as it used to be a wonderful school with excellent teachers and happy children.

Yes,

Yes, sadly this is very true. We have had to move our child. They were achieving a high standard academically, (despite having very poor quality teachers since Prep), but the behaviour standards witnessed in classrooms on many occasions were very low. The bilingual program is causing a lot of unrest in students (and teachers) resulting in poor behaviour standards across classrooms, and, therefore, creating a very disruptive learning environment. The bilingual program is a fantastic idea, but Wellers Hill SS seems to be struggling with an effective roll-out of the program.

Can anyone elaborate further on the 'unrest' it causes? We are looking to move into the area specifically for the catchment zone and the bilingual program.

We have one child doing bilingual and one not - you have the option of withdrawing if they are not progressing well with it - the school is great for our boys though with great network with like-minded families which play weekend sport together as well.

I went to this school last year (2022). It's a good and bad school at the same time. You have so many great friends and memories there but they aren't the best school. What i loved was that they were a really strict school and that made everyone more relaxed and happier.

Agree the bilingual program is causing unrest. A lot of parents have recently removed their children from the school. It’s a shame as it used to be a wonderful local school.

My son goes to Wellers Hill, and he loves it. I don't see the problems with the school but maybe because I don't spend much time at the school. My son's academic results are satisfying and his Japanese was quite useful when we were in Japan for holiday.
Good school, we are happy with it.

I have lived in the area for 20 years, and have had kids attend both Wellers Hill and St Elizabeths - both excellent schools with good reputations and great community support
