"Some mixed feelings"

While we love the school's Christian ethos and the emphasis on character education, we've found the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit inconsistent at times. The facilities are lovely, but we've had some issues with equipment in the classroom.

"Inspiring Change Makers!"

The 'Inspiring Change Makers' program has been a highlight for our child. We love the emphasis on outdoor learning and the way the school encourages children to take action for the community. The staff are always approachable and supportive.

"A wonderful school community!"

We've been really impressed with the friendliness and inclusivity of the school community. The breakfast club and after-school activities have been a huge help for us. The school's focus on Christian values is also something we really appreciate.

"A warm and welcoming school"

We were a bit nervous about transitioning from one school to another, but St Helen's made us feel so welcome. The school's focus on spiritual growth and community service is something we're grateful for.
