"Generally a Positive Experience"

We've been at Gearies Primary School for a year now, and overall, we're pleased with the school. The teachers are generally good, and our child enjoys the lessons. However, we've noticed some inconsistencies in communication, and the parking situation can be a bit tricky. Despite this, we feel our child is learning and growing, and we appreciate the efforts of the staff.

"An Amazing School Experience"

We've had our son at Gearies Primary School for 3 years now, and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are supportive, the facilities are great, and the values of Potential, Tolerance & Respect, and Environment are truly lived out. Our child is thriving and making wonderful friends. A huge thank you to the entire Gearies team!

"A Great School for Our Child"

We moved to a new area and unfortunately couldn't stay at Gearies Primary School, but we can't speak highly enough of our experience. The school's diversity and inclusivity really stood out to us, and our child loved the Nursery program. We're grateful for the time our child spent there and wish we could still be part of the community.
