"Room for Improvement"

My child started at Dunn Street this year and we're still getting used to the school's layout and routines. While the staff are friendly and the facilities are great, I do feel that communication with parents could be better. We haven't received many updates on our child's progress, which has been a bit frustrating. That being said, we're hoping that things will improve as the year goes on.

"Warm and Supportive Learning Community"

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Dunn Street Primary. The staff are always approachable and willing to listen, and the facilities are excellent. We particularly appreciate the focus on the learning family stages, it's lovely to see the children take on new roles and responsibilities as they grow. 10/10, would highly recommend!

"Exceptional Education and Care"

As a former parent of a child at Dunn Street, I was thoroughly impressed with the education and care provided. The school's values of nurturing, inclusivity and ambition shine through in everything they do. My child thrived at Dunn Street and made lifelong friends. Their motto of 'From tiny seeds grow mighty oaks' really is a testament to the school's commitment to helping each child grow and flourish.
