## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful Community at St Mary's: We've been at St Mary's for 5 years now and it's been an amazing journey. The values of compassion, collaboration, and living out the teachings of Jesus are truly embedded in the school. My children feel safe, happy, and valued. We love the facilities, especially the outdoor areas for play and the school's commitment to environmental sustainability. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding Education: I have two children who attended St Mary's and I couldn't be prouder of the people they've become. The school's focus on Gospel values has had a profound impact on their character and sense of purpose. The education they received was outstanding, with a rich and inspiring curriculum that encouraged a deep sense of awe and wonder. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experiences: We've been at St Mary's for a year now, and while we've had some great experiences, we've also had some challenges. The school's commitment to safety and well-being is commendable, but we've found the communication from the school to be inconsistent at times. My child loves the school's Catholic identity and the values they're learning. *(Jun 2021)*
