Can’t thank Fintona staff enough for going beyond what required to enable my daughter to achieve her ideal result for VCE and be accepted to her first preference university course this year due to her results .nStaff were so helpful and supportive !nHer English teacher head of that dept , art teacher, maths teacher & psychology teachers were outstanding , so supportive and made the classes interesting to keep students engaged in learning .nAll the extra curricular activities were fun for her also ! Definitely recommend this school to prospective students , very high accedemic level made her results possible .
Terrible school. Does not respect the girl's wellbeing and only cares about their reputation. It is abundantly clear that the only families they show care for, are the wealthier families. The emphasis this school shows toward test scores and rankings, overshadows the development of critical thinking skills and a love for learning. Teachers do not provide equal support toward the students that need it.nCommunication with the school administration is proved to be a frustrating exercise. It has become evident that the school's primary concern is protecting its image rather than addressing legitimate issues with the students and parents.
This school really helps me achieve my academic goals, and most of the teachers are great except for the head middle school. Their teaching methods are great, and I have learned a lot in various subjects, more than I have at other schools, but their is too many problems between students here, like bullying and death threats. Then they tell the whole year level, and start blaming people for things ex. taking everyone’s diaries to check who wrote a death threat to a student. And with bullying, even if you tell a teacher, they actually don’t care that much, and just tells you to sort it out yourself. To summarize, this school is good if you are academically inclined, but detrimental for your mental health.
Surrounded by private schools that sometimes focus more on marketing than teaching, Fintona stands out as an institution of excellence that attracts families with shared values and a strong work ethic. The student cohort is mature, welcoming, kind and caring.nnOur daughter came across from a smartphone-friendly competitor school in which students make TikToks during class time, obsess over social media and walk around the campus staring at their phones. We were surprised by how much more developed Fintona students' interpersonal communication and social skills are, partly because mobile phone use is banned during school hours.nnSmall enough to be friendly, the school offers a surprisingly wide range of extracurricular activities from harp lessons to rowing.nnAs private schools go, it's the real deal: progressive but steadfast in its established values and priorities.
I am a student at Fintona and all the people here are friendly many learning opportunities as a lover of music I highly recommend this school for people into music or saving the environment. Sometimes it can be stressful at this school although it may not be the best, the Senior campus is definitely the safest time to join.
