## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional school with a strong community: We're so grateful to have our daughter at Newman RC College. The staff are warm and welcoming, and she's thriving in a challenging yet supportive environment. We love the emphasis on faith and values, and the facilities are excellent. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, but areas for improvement: We've had a mixed experience at Newman RC College so far. Our daughter is really enjoying her subjects and the teachers are generally good. However, we've found the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit lacking at times, and the school's online portal could be more user-friendly. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful experience for our whole family: Our son attended Newman RC College a few years ago, and it was a truly wonderful experience for all of us. The staff were always available to support him, and the extracurricular programs were fantastic. We're so proud of the person he became thanks to the college's values and ethos. *(Jun 2020)*
