"Some positives and areas for improvement"
My child is still in their first year at William Gilpin, but we've had a mixed experience so far. The facilities are excellent, and the staff seem friendly and approachable. However, we've noticed that the school could do more to engage parents, and the communication sometimes feels a bit one-way. We're hoping that things will improve as our child settles in.

"Our wonderful experience at William Gilpin"
My daughter attended William Gilpin from Year 1 to Year 6, and we couldn't be happier with the experience she had. The school's values of courage, compassion, and community are truly embedded in every aspect of the school, and the facilities are excellent. We're so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of the William Gilpin community.
