## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Amazing School & Staff!: We're absolutely loving St Mary's! My daughter has settled in so well and is thriving thanks to the wonderful teachers and staff. The school's emphasis on Christian values and kindness really resonates with us as a family. We feel so supported and encouraged here. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education & Community!: We were at St Mary's for 6 years and had a fantastic experience. The school's academic standards are high, but it's the values and character that they instil in children that truly set them apart. My children have grown into kind, confident, and compassionate individuals thanks to the school's caring community. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Generally Happy, but a Few Concerns: We've had a good experience at St Mary's so far, but we do have some concerns about the school's organisation and communication. The teachers are generally great, but we've had a few instances where our child has been forgotten in class. Overall, we're happy with the school's emphasis on values and community, but we'd like to see some improvements in certain areas. *(Mar 2022)*
