## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School Community!: We've been part of the St Francis Xavier community for 2 years now and it's been an incredible experience. The values of 'Love of God and Love of Neighbour' are truly lived out in the school, and our child has thrived in a supportive and challenging environment. The facilities are also excellent, especially the fitness suite which our child loves to use during lunch breaks! *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great foundation for our child: We moved to a different town last year, but we're so grateful for the 3 years our child spent at St Francis Xavier. The school's emphasis on Gospel values and compassion really helped shape our child's character and prepare them for the next stage of education. We're also impressed with the school's commitment to staff wellbeing - it shows in the teachers' enthusiasm and dedication. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for improvement in communication: We're generally very happy with St Francis Xavier, but sometimes feel that parents aren't always kept in the loop about important events or changes. Our child loves the accelerated reader program and the school's focus on maths and science, but we wish there were more opportunities for parent-teacher collaboration and feedback. *(Sep 2021)*
