Victoria Shanghai Academy Reviews (38)

I have to say though, VSA is a nice school and it's filled with a lot of nice teachers but the reason why I rated a 3 instead of 5 is because: 1. Some teachers have the balls to understand the student's situation(they understand more when they have kids) such as anxiety and when they get bad grades, they do help them but some teachers don't. Back in Y9, I have a science teacher and the grades he gave others were pretty strict. I got a 5 for one of my criteria in my lab report and he rounded down to a 4 and told my parents about it. SERIOUSLY?????? 2. The school lunches were one of the worst things u can find in the school. Sure there's a lot you can by such as snacks, drinks and yogurts but all of them are way too over priced. A lunch costs $32 and it doesn't include anything and a 7cm diameter cookie costs $10. Almost every secondary student in VSA reported this problem to the student council but when the student council quote "Your voice will be heard," It's the opposite thing. Also the vending machines are broken for FIVE YEARS REEEEEEEEEAAAAAALLLYYYYYY??????? 3. When it comes to bullying, the teachers don't really care. I was once in Y3 and someone like my age kicked me in the balls 3 times because I wasn't on his side. I reported to the teacher and she said "No fighting games". I got cyber-bullied back in Y6 and almost the entire class did that to me. Again I told the teacher about the matter and they didn't care. 4. Flex in secondary is one of the most boring things in school. You get to learn about stupid relationships and puberty. Teachers usually have this form where you get to speak up what do you want to do during flex but the form is utterly futile because the teachers never agree with out statement. Overall, this is a pretty good school but when all these matters are solved I will definitely rate this a 5 star.

I went here until I was in 7th grade, and the experience is ok. Always start in Y1 though, or else you won't be able to survive the next 11 years. Always having a group of friends and people know you gives a sense of security, and it feels pretty good. Lots of clubs and choices, but teachers aren't that good. Most leave after 2 years and a lot are new. Barely any who has more than 10 years teaching experience, VSA can't keep good teachers.
