"Good but Room for Improvement"

We have mixed feelings about Stanground Academy. On the one hand, the Uniform and Equipment are very well-organised and the school is very proud of its facilities. However, we feel that there is a lack of communication with parents about important events and that some teachers could be more supportive.

"An Exceptional Education with Extra Curricular Activities to Match"

We moved our daughter to Stanground Academy in Year 7 and she has thrived in the supportive and ambitious environment. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are passionate about helping students achieve their potential. The Hairspray production was a highlight, and we are so proud of our daughter's progress.

"Excellent Values and Enthusiastic Teachers"

My son attended Stanground Academy from Year 7 to Year 11 and we were consistently impressed with the values the school promoted and the enthusiasm of the teachers. The Cross Country team was a highlight, and we appreciated the opportunities for students to develop social responsibility and progress through various programs.
