An Awful School
Awful management - they try to micro manage you even when they are not competent themselves. They give in to parents' and students' demands and don't stand behind teachers. They are toxic, paranoid people. There is no comaraderie in the staff either - they are clicky and unfriendly. Also the standard of teaching is not great. Some of the children are nice but many are demanding, rude and spoilt. The facilities are not good - I don't know why parents are asked to pay so much for so little. Parklands is also a horrible place to have a school - surrounded by criminals and you dont feel safe working there.
Amazing School, Horrible Management
CBC is an amazing school with exceptional teachers and students. The organization allows many opportunities for our children, and the love and care provided by the staff is unmatched. The school also has a very good ethos.
It is, however, quite sad that the ethos so widely proclaimed by the management, is not the ethos and culture reflected by the top management.
CBC's higher structure is exceptionally toxic, filled with gossip and bullies. The management is narcissistic and rude, and their behavior towards other staff members is borderline psychotic. At the top, we have a sociopath so insecure in their abilities that insults, irregular disciplinary hearings, and sarcasm became the order of the day.
Teachers are literally fleeing from this organization, and it is therefore no surprise that other students are leaving the school at such a rapid pace as well. The education delivered to our children is simply not of the quality we were used to before so many talented and experienced teachers left.
CBC completely changed for the worse after the changes in management a few years ago, and as a concerned parent with one more child left at the school, I cannot help but feel that it might be time to seek out greener pastures where he can receive the education he so deeply deserves.

Cover Up Of Known Bullying
CBC strives on perfection and perseverance for it's name. It cares more about the school's 'good' reputation. There are numerous accounts of bullying where teachers and headmasters where informed of yet the school sat back and did nothing. The bullying forms in groups of girls who pick on any other girl/s that do not add up to their standards. CBC is and has proven to hold racist known students, but are left to carry on damaging other kids around them. This is mainly in the High School. This has been going on for years and it is with the same students and yet again CBC knows of these incidents, but does nothing as they are scared it will effect it's high reputation. Students 'gang' up on others saying revolting words and phrases. Racist and just plain cruel. CBC is known as caring. Caring for it's name not for their students they sworn to protect and care under their supervision. These issues are mainly situated in the High School. Older girls pick on younger ones. Calling them sluts and whores. I was only 13 at the time one of these incidents first occurred. I was walking with my friends and did not see a matric girl walking towards me she pushed her shoulder into me, with a reflex I pushed back mainly, because I had received a fright. She told me to watch it. I was walking in a rather large foyer. The same year a girl told her friend that she wanted to bash my face with a brick. I was 14. CBC failed me as a student. I no longer am in this school and I have grown happier, but still hurt over a lot of the incidents and pain they have caused me in just 2 years.
CBC Little Saints
Wonderful loving environment where a child is paid attention to; and seen as a little person not a number. Teachers make an effort to learn your child's name even if they are not in their class. It is like having an extended family.
More than just an academic facility.
CBC St John's is an amazing school, it brings family, diversity, excellent education, love and care in one complete package. Your child is not a number but recognized as person. Your child's talents receives recognition be it academically, drama or on the sports field. My child started CBC in Grade 0 and is currently in grade 7. She is a well balanced individual, independent and her primary school life has been a journey of achievements and happiness. The foundation she has received at CBC is based on good Christian values and includes an excellent level of education. The values she has gained has been an amazing journey. Entered as a learner and will leave as a leader. CBC is so unique and the love and care from educators in assisting us as parents to raise incredible young ambassadors is a rare find.
Brilliant school
Welcoming school. Teachers passionate about their role in the children's education.
