## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Warm and Welcoming Environment: We were nervous about sending our child to school for the first time, but from the moment we walked through the doors at Southtown Primary, we felt at ease. The staff are so friendly and the facilities are brilliant - our child loves the playground and the library. We're so glad we chose the school and can't wait to see our child grow and thrive. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience: We have been part of the Southtown Primary School community for 3 years now and have had a truly wonderful experience. The facilities are excellent and the staff are always so welcoming and supportive. Our child has thrived in their learning and has made some amazing friends. We can't speak highly enough of the school and its values! *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Good Points, Some Room for Improvement: We've had a mixed experience at Southtown Primary - our child loves their class and the teachers are generally very good, but we've had some issues with communication and organisation at times. The school's values and programs are great, but we feel that they could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on. Hopefully, we'll see some improvements in the coming years. *(Dec 2021)*
- **5/5** — A Great Foundation for Life: We had the pleasure of sending our children to Southtown Primary School and were thoroughly impressed with the education and values they received. The school's emphasis on 'Believe, Learn, Achieve' really resonated with us and our children's confidence grew with each passing year. We would highly recommend the school to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing environment. *(Sep 2021)*
