The Catholic values are woven throughout the curriculum, and the prayer life at the school is a beautiful experience. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Nice school, but some areas for improvement: We have been pleased with the education and care that our child has received at St Mark's. However, we feel that the school could do more to communicate with parents about their child's progress and involve them in the learning process. Overall, a good school, but room for improvement. *(Mar 2022)*
