"A solid school, but not perfect"

We moved our child to a different school, but our experience at St Mary's was largely positive. The teachers were good, and the school's values aligned with our own. However, we sometimes felt that the school could be more responsive to parents' concerns. Overall, a solid choice, but perhaps not the best fit for every family.

"Amazing school for our little ones!"

We're so happy to have our children attend St Mary's! The Forest School program is one of our favourite things about the school - the kids have such a great time learning outside and developing their skills. The staff are always friendly and approachable, and we love how the school values its relationships with parents.
