I just graduated in 2022 and over the past 4 years I’ve been compiling all my thoughts and experiences about this school so this will be a long one. This school is extremely supportive and there is very little racism and bullying. MacRob is an incredibly diverse community with people of many different backgrounds, genders and sexualities and you’ll feel really welcome there. I also felt like I wasn’t judged and could be myself which was not how I felt when I went to a coed school. There are some teachers who will go above and beyond for your needs, especially some VCE teachers who will bend over backwards to give you resources, correct your work and give you tons of informative and constructive feedback (English and PE teachers in particular). I also had a French teacher who would say hello to me every single time over 4 years in the hallways when I only had her in year 9. Students get a voice and a lot of events are student organised or lead, and a lot of things are put to a vote. The leaders really care deeply about the school and I find that really refreshing. It’s more relaxed than you think. Not everyone is academically competitive and people will be happy for you and cheer you on regardless of how smart you are. No one is really uppity about how many superiors they got or what mark they received. Many of your friends will be like-minded and you can support each other through common experiences Teachers are usually pretty lenient on extensions and things like that so that is nice to see. However lots of students abuse this which is unfortunate. Now onto not so good aspects of MacRob. The canteen is run by a very lovely person but it’s often overpriced and understaffed and the students often have to volunteer. Also my friends have often missed out of lunch because they ran out of food. Last year there was a lot of construction and it made it extremely hard to concentrate, especially when it happened during exams and sacs which I think could’ve been avoided. While the old timetable was much better and easier to follow, the new timetable is confusing to me and other students who are still attending MacRob and I think it’s unnecessary. While a lot of events are student run or suggested, teachers have more control over learning aspects such as timetabling or ‘Connect’ classes. I’m not sure about other classes but for me throughout my whole MacRob journey I never found form/connect classes to be useful and mostly they were just reminding us of upcoming events to give consent or payment for. Some teachers have also been inattentive and just go on their devices during this time and let the form/connect captain handle things. I’m not sure why connect was increased from 10-20 minutes a week to a full 45 minute session or more every week as far as I know, but this time could be used more productively. I cannot speak for this year since I’ve left but I assume it hasn’t changed much. Assemblies used to sometimes be after school which I think should not happen and I had 7 subjects on a Friday which I thought was ridiculous but probably couldn’t be helped. It was really congested! MacRob keeps accepting more and more students when we don’t have the room. It was a nightmare getting from K3 to L2. Sometimes you have to teach your own content or rely on your friends because teachers are often away and no subs are organised for 3/4 classes most of the time and it really impacted my learning and many of my friends' too. Teachers often take a very long time to return work (chemistry and maths in particular) which is understandable since there are a large number of students taking these subjects. I do think 3 months is excessive but of course I don’t know how hard they are to mark so this is just a warning to people hoping to take these subjects. MacRob teachers are overly concerned about attendance? During an assembly that was after school the gates were locked and teachers were standing at all exits and guarding them like— Overall, a lot to consider but I don't regret going here at all!

A Glimpse Inside The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School My family recently had the opportunity to tour The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School as we prepare for the entry exam, and our impressions are mixed. While the overall experience was satisfactory, there are notable areas for improvement. The school's location in the heart of the city CBD brings both advantages and challenges. On the positive side, it offers a unique and vibrant setting. However, the limitations of space are evident, and the aging infrastructure poses some challenges. Building renovations seem overdue, and the lack of space is noticeable, affecting the overall comfort and functionality of certain areas. Despite these drawbacks, the school staff during the tour were informative and welcoming. They provided valuable insights into the school's programs and ethos. It's evident that the school is dedicated to fostering academic excellence and a supportive community. The aging building services are a notable concern, and modernization in this aspect would greatly enhance the overall experience for students. While the challenges are understandable given the constraints of an old building in the city, investing in renovations and updated facilities would go a long way in creating a more conducive learning environment. In conclusion, The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School provides a unique experience in the heart of the city. The tour allowed us to appreciate the school's strengths and identify areas that need improvement. As we approach the entry exam, we recognize the potential of the school but hope that future investments in infrastructure and space management will elevate the overall experience for both current and prospective students.

Indeed it's a one of the cherry picker. The school picks up best students of the state who are capable to obtain 95% ATAR but 50% of them can't make it. Most of the teachers are incapable to think outside the box to motivate those bright

A disappointed mistake of a school, with over flowing toilets and bad education. The worst environment for learning and engaging the minds of the young, failure of a school.

  • aebeecee onetwothree

Students are amazing, leadership staff, not so much. Has great potential but the school prefers to 'save their name' more so than actually listen to the students.

  • elisa ryan

Hard working students and teachers. Work ethic for both top rate. Sensational results for students with a love of learning from teachers with a love of teaching.

  • Louise's Choice
