- **5/5** — Outstanding education and values: We've been part of the St Mary and St Michael's community for 6 years now, and it's been an incredible journey. The school's focus on faith and values has helped my children develop into kind, compassionate and confident individuals. The teachers are dedicated and passionate, and the facilities are top-notch. I couldn't recommend this school more highly. *(Jan 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic school in every way!: My children have been attending St Mary and St Michael's for 3 years now and we couldn't be happier. The school's values of uniqueness, service, care and compassion really shine through in everything they do. The facilities are excellent, the teachers are caring and supportive, and the community is so friendly. I would highly recommend this school to anyone. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed experiences: We attended St Mary and St Michael's for 2 years and had some good experiences, but also some not-so-good ones. The school's values and facilities were great, but we sometimes found the communication with the teachers and school leadership to be lacking. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not one that we'd rave about. *(Jan 2021)*
