## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: St Monica's has been a godsend for our family. The values of kindness, compassion, and respect are truly ingrained in the children and staff. My daughter has thrived in the supportive environment and we couldn't be prouder of her. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: While St Monica's has many strengths, we've experienced some challenges with communication and consistency. The school's focus on faith and values is excellent, but we've felt that our child's needs haven't always been met. We're hoping for improvement in the coming years. *(Mar 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Well-Rounded Education: My son attended St Monica's for five years and we were impressed with the excellent facilities and opportunities provided. The school's commitment to service and social responsibility is admirable and I'm confident it helped shape my son into the person he is today. *(Jun 2020)*
