"Some areas for improvement"

While we've had some great experiences at St Mary's, we've noticed that the school could do more to support children who struggle with reading and writing. Our child has had some challenges, and it's been frustrating to see them fall behind their peers. We hope the school will address this in the future.

"Caring and supportive community"

We moved away, but we still feel grateful for the time our children spent at St Mary's. The school's emphasis on kindness and compassion really shaped their characters, and they're now thriving in their new school. We'd highly recommend St Mary's to anyone.
