## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful Experience at The Harbour School: I've found the Harbour School to be an excellent choice for my son, who has been attending since Year 4. The teachers are supportive, and the facilities are wonderful, especially the wooded area and pond. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on achievement for all and valuing people, which aligns with our family values. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Education and Care: My experience with The Harbour School has been overwhelmingly positive. The school's focus on extending the boundaries of learning and providing a high-quality learning environment has been excellent. My son has thrived under the care of his teachers, and I've been impressed by the school's commitment to safeguarding. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good but Room for Improvement: I have mixed feelings about our experience at The Harbour School. On the one hand, I appreciate the school's emphasis on achievement for all and the supportive staff. However, I felt that the curriculum could be more engaging, and the communication between teachers and parents could be improved. Overall, a solid but not outstanding experience. *(Mar 2021)*
