The school's commitment to Catholic values and its focus on academic excellence align with our own values. The staff are friendly, approachable, and genuinely care about each student's well-being. We're thrilled to be part of the St Matthew's community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Mix of Experiences: We have a positive experience at St Matthew's, but there were some challenges. The school's personal development program helped our child build confidence and social skills, but we felt that the academic expectations were sometimes unrealistic. The facilities are modern, but the school could benefit from more extracurricular activities for older students. Overall, we're grateful for the education our child received. *(Jun 2022)*
