"Some Great Aspects, But Room for Improvement"

We were at Alphington for a few years before moving out of the area, and while we had some great experiences, we felt like the school was a bit inconsistent in terms of quality. The facilities were great, and the teachers were often passionate and engaging, but we sometimes felt like the school was too focused on academic achievement rather than the well-rounded development of the child. Still, we're grateful for the time our child spent there and the friendships they made.
