## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A truly special place: I have two daughters attending PHSG, and it's been an absolute pleasure to see them grow and develop their passions. The school's motto 'For Life Not School We Learn' is really something to aspire to. The girls are encouraged to be their best selves, and the teachers are always available to offer help and guidance. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Generally positive experience, but room for improvement: My daughter attended PHSG for two years, and while we had some really positive experiences, there were times when the school felt a bit disjointed. The facilities are great, and the teachers are mostly excellent, but I felt that the school could do more to engage with parents and involve them in the decision-making process. *(Aug 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional school with a warm community: We have been part of the PHSG family for two years now, and I couldn't be happier with the support and guidance the school provides. The staff are kind, dedicated, and really care about the girls. The facilities are excellent, and the programs on offer are so diverse. Our daughter has thrived here. *(Jun 2022)*
