"Great School with Room for Improvement"

My child attended Ark Pioneer from Year 7 to Year 11 and had a great experience overall. The teachers were mostly great, but there were a few who struggled to engage with the students. The school's support for wellbeing is excellent, but I felt that they could do more to involve parents in the decision-making process.
