## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A warm and welcoming community: We absolutely love St Aidan's. The values of tolerance, forgiveness and respect are clearly evident in the way the staff and children interact with each other. Our child has thrived here and we feel so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school, but areas for improvement: We've been at St Aidan's for a few years now and overall, we're happy with the education our child is receiving. However, we've noticed that the school could do more to engage with parents - we've had trouble getting consistent communication from the school and sometimes feel like we're not being kept in the loop about important events. That being said, the staff are generally very friendly and the facilities are great. We're hoping to see some improvements in communication in the coming years. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — A school that truly cares: We had our children at St Aidan's from Year 1 to Year 6 and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. The school's faith-based values were a big draw for us and we felt like the staff truly listened to our concerns and supported our children's development. The extra-curricular programs were also a highlight - our son loved the sports club and our daughter loved the dance club. *(May 2021)*
