## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful School Community!: My child has thrived at St James. The school's values of love, hope, curiosity, resilience and empathy really shine through in everything they do. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the facilities are great. We've particularly enjoyed the music development program. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some teething issues, but lots of positives: We've had a mixed experience at St James so far. The school's wrap-around childcare has been a lifesaver, but there have been some issues with communication and organisation. However, the teachers seem dedicated and the curriculum is engaging. We're hopeful that things will improve as we settle in. *(Oct 2021)*
- **5/5** — A great all-round experience: We're really happy with St James. The school has a great atmosphere, and the staff are always willing to listen and help. My child loves the Early Reading and Phonics program, and the sports facilities are fantastic. We feel lucky to have found such a wonderful school. *(Aug 2020)*
