"A warm and nurturing community"

I am so grateful to the Habs community for providing my daughter with a safe and supportive environment to thrive. The campus is beautiful, with plenty of green spaces for outdoor play and exploration. But it's the values and ethos of the school that really stand out to me - kindness, compassion, and a love of learning are all deeply ingrained in the school culture.

"A wonderful all-round education"

I was a bit skeptical about sending my daughter to a single-sex school, but I've been blown away by the opportunities and experiences she's had at Habs. From the Habs Innovation Centre to the Duke of Edinburgh program, there's a real emphasis on developing the whole child - not just academically, but also creatively and physically.

"A good school, but not without its challenges"

I have mixed feelings about our experience at Habs. On the one hand, my daughter had some excellent teachers and made some great friends. On the other hand, I sometimes felt like the school was a bit too focused on exams and academic results - it was hard to get her involved in the co-curricular program when she was so busy with her schoolwork.
