"Some Disappointments with Communication"

We've been at The Elizabethan for 3 years now, and while we have enjoyed the school experience overall, there have been some disappointments with communication. At times, we've felt left in the dark about important events or issues affecting our child. However, the teaching has been good, and the school's values have been well-embedded in our child's daily life.

"Outstanding Teaching and Support"

We've been part of The Elizabethan community for 5 years now, and I can honestly say the teaching and support have been outstanding. My son's teachers have always been approachable and willing to go the extra mile to help him succeed. We're also really impressed with the school's commitment to careers guidance and the various programs they offer to help students prepare for the workforce.

"Excellent School Experience So Far"

My daughter has been at The Elizabethan for 2 years now and we have had a very positive experience. The school's 3R's (Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience) values have really helped shape her behaviour and attitude towards school. The facilities are also impressive, with great outdoor spaces for the kids to play in.

"Great Foundation for Future Success"

My son attended The Elizabethan back in 2015-2019, and I'm thrilled to say that he has a great foundation for future success. The school's focus on academic achievement and character development really helped him develop into a well-rounded individual. While we did experience some challenges during his time there, the pros far outweighed the cons, and I would highly recommend the school to other parents.
