"Mixed experience but some great opportunities"

We've had a mixed experience at Prendergast Vale. The school has some excellent programs, such as the Year 6 trip to the Globe Theatre, but we've had some issues with communication and consistency. I'm hoping it will improve as my child gets older.

"Supportive environment and great facilities"

As a parent of a Year 11 who has just left the school, I'm so impressed with the way the teachers and staff supported my child's transition to secondary school. The facilities are excellent too - my child loved participating in the sports programs.
