## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Our Child Flourished at Southern Cross: We were blown away by the warm welcome our child received at Southern Cross. The staff's commitment to creating a safe and stimulating environment has allowed our child to thrive academically and emotionally. We particularly appreciate the emphasis on creativity and independence, which has helped our child develop a love of learning. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Supportive and Nurturing Environment: As a former parent, I was impressed by the school's relational approach and the way staff prioritise emotional well-being. Our child received excellent support and made great progress during their time at Southern Cross. While we moved to a different area, I would highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a supportive and nurturing environment for their child. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Good Experience, Room for Improvement: Our child has been attending Southern Cross for a few years, and while we've seen some improvement in their academic progress, we feel that the school could do more to engage our child in extracurricular activities. The staff are generally supportive, but we've had some issues with communication. Overall, it's a good school, but we'd like to see more opportunities for our child to develop their interests. *(Mar 2022)*
