## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful school community!: We've been so impressed with St Joseph's from day one. The facilities are excellent, and the staff are incredibly caring and supportive. They've helped our daughter settle in and thrive, and we feel lucky to be part of such a welcoming community. We're confident she'll love it here for the next few years! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Generally positive, but some issues: We've been happy with St Joseph's overall, but we've had a few issues with communication from the school. Sometimes it feels like they don't keep us informed about what's going on, which can be frustrating. However, we do love the focus on faith and the opportunities our son has had to develop his skills and interests. We're hoping things will improve in the next year or so! *(Feb 2021)*
- **5/5** — A true gem!: We were so sad to leave St Joseph's after our daughter moved on to secondary school, but we knew we'd made the right choice when we chose to send her here. The values and mission of the school really resonated with us, and our daughter loved the opportunities she had to learn and grow. We still keep in touch with some of the teachers and staff, and we couldn't recommend the school highly enough. *(Jun 2020)*
