"Our experience at Walter Halls has been first class"

We've had our child at Walter Halls for three years now and have been consistently impressed with the school's values and facilities. The OPAL program has really helped our child to develop socially and the outdoor play areas are fantastic. The teachers are always available to talk to and the school's focus on wellbeing is evident in everything they do.

"Wonderful school with a great focus on wellbeing"

We're really happy with our child's progress at Walter Halls. The school's emphasis on wellbeing and mental health is excellent and the staff are always looking for ways to improve. The new library is a great addition to the school and our child loves going there for storytime.

"A good school, but some areas for improvement"

We had our child at Walter Halls for two years and had a generally positive experience. The school's values are great and the facilities are good, but we felt that the communication with parents could be better at times. Our child did struggle with the workload in Year 2, but the teachers were supportive and helped them to catch up.
