| They can be easy going. Some teachers are great. Very little however. | The teachers are ill-equiped. They are actually quite nasty at times. They have been seen in public yelling at students rudely. Most students are not happy there. | My son attends to this school. I hope been told by him and his friends they do not enjoy school. They only attend to get their VCE and to see their friends. I am actually in dis-agreement with the school at the moment. They have a Biology teacher who is literally not teaching them anything. My son and his friends are failing VCE and SAC's because of this. | ||

| Excellent facilities, strong teacher base. Very high sporting - only public school in the region to have a rowing department (National Champions 2009), consistantly rated highly in all sporting fields- and musical achievements - brilliant music department, known throughout Victoria and Australia. | Not too much to mention, but the teachers will make you work. | Great High School, the best public school in the Ballarat region. | ||

| Ballarat high is a safe environment and the teachers do not except laziness. I am a attending student to Ballarat High and it is the best public school in the region better then some of the privet schools as well. | The lockers are a older kind. | That it is an excellent school and I would encourage people to attend it. | ||
