What students from other schools have said

Teachers at MSC seem to truly understand their subject not just teach it from the textbook

Teachers are excellent- approachable and well organised

Marden Senior College is a great place to learn

It has been a refreshing experience

Marden is much more relaxed and flexible than my normal school

I enjoy having the option to do a subject outside of my own schools subject choices

My teacher is incredibly helpful and I feel that I am learning so much that I would never have learnt at my school

I find it to be a very fun experience. The subject and teachers are great and it is nice being with likeminded people.

I find the learning environment enjoyable

I like how I am treated as an adult rather than just a student

Teachers are very helpful and encourage students to reach their full potential- they are also very thorough so learning from them is a pleasure.
