"Excellent all-around school"

My daughter graduated from Prendergast a few years ago, and I'm so proud of the person she's become. The school's values of Truth, Honour, Freedom, and Courtesy really do shine through. The staff are dedicated and caring, and the academic results speak for themselves.

"Mixed feelings about Prendergast"

I'm a bit disappointed with the level of communication from the school. My daughter's teacher is lovely, but I feel like I'm not always in the loop about what's going on in the classroom. That being said, the school's facilities are amazing, and my daughter loves her classmates.
