## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School, Caring Teachers: My son has been at St John's for two years now and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are caring, supportive and really make an effort to get to know each child. The school's values of Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Ourselves, Loving Learning and Loving Life really shine through in everything they do. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great community, but a few areas for improvement: We have just moved out of the area, but our children loved their time at St John's. The school has a wonderful community feel and the teachers are kind and dedicated. However, we did find the school's communication with parents to be a bit lacking at times. Overall, a great school that we would recommend. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with a strong sense of community: We've been at St John's for a year now and have been thoroughly impressed with the school. The teachers are excellent, the facilities are great and the sense of community is wonderful. Our child has thrived in a happy and supportive environment. *(Mar 2022)*
