## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Good School with Potential: We moved away from the area and my child finished at the school last year. While we had a good experience overall, I did find the school's communication with parents to be a bit hit and miss at times. That being said, the teachers are dedicated and the school has a lot of potential. I would recommend it to others, but perhaps with a bit of caution. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Experience for My Child: We joined the school 2 years ago and it's been a great experience for my child. The teachers are supportive and the school's values of kindness and respect are clearly visible in the way the children interact with each other. I particularly like the Mini Vinnies program which encourages the children to think about others and do something to help. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School with a Warm and Caring Community: I've been incredibly impressed with the school's approach to education and wellbeing. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are excellent. My child is thriving and I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful school in our area. *(Mar 2022)*
