"A great school with a wonderful atmosphere"

We moved our child to a different school mid-way through their time at Stella Maris, but we still maintain close ties with the school. The staff are exceptional and the values they teach are something to be proud of. We often recommend the school to friends and family.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Stella Maris. The school has some wonderful aspects, such as the values they teach and the extracurricular activities on offer. However, sometimes the communication from the school can be a bit patchy and we've had some issues with homework and assessment.
