"Not for every child"

Our child has been at St Augustine's for a year now, and while we like the school's atmosphere and values, we feel that the educational standards are not as high as we had hoped. The teachers are nice, but we've had some issues with communication and follow-up on our child's progress.

"Love the Forest School adventures!"

We've been at St Augustine's for 3 years now and have had an amazing experience. The Forest School program is a highlight for our child and we love how the teachers support the kids to learn through play. The school's values of kindness, empathy and respect are instilled in our child every day.

"Great education, lovely staff"

We sent our child to St Augustine's for 7 years and were always impressed with the education they received. The teachers are supportive and caring, and the school's curriculum is well-rounded. We were sad to leave but feel our child was well-prepared for secondary school.
