My child loves the after-school clubs and activities, and has really thrived in the school's nurturing environment. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Best Decision We Ever Made: We were a bit worried about moving to a new school, but St Anthony's has been a game-changer for our family. The school's commitment to Catholic values and its emphasis on kindness and respect have really resonated with us. Our child is happy and confident, and we feel like we've found a real community here. *(Jun 2021)*
- **4/5** — Some Good, Some Room for Improvement: We had a mixed experience at St Anthony's. On the one hand, our child loved the school's sports program and made some great friends. On the other hand, we felt that the school's communication with parents could be better, and our child sometimes struggled with the workload. Overall, we're grateful for the education and experiences our child had here, but we do think the school could improve in a few areas. *(Feb 2020)*
