## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some Great Aspects, But Room for Improvement: We've been at Shepherd Primary for a few years now, and while we've had some great experiences, we've also encountered some issues. The school's facilities are great, and the teachers are generally very good. However, we've found the communication from the school to be a bit lacking at times, which can be frustrating. With a bit more attention to this area, we'd be even happier with our experience. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School, Fantastic Teachers!: We've been at Shepherd Primary for 3 years and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are amazing, the facilities are great and the values that the school promotes are exactly what we want for our children. They're well on their way to achieving their dreams! *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Experience for Our Children: We moved to a different area and our children had to leave Shepherd Primary, but we have no regrets. The school provided a wonderful environment for them to learn and grow, and we're so grateful for the memories they made while they were there. The Forest School program was a particular highlight! *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: We've only been at Shepherd Primary for a short while, but we've already seen the impact that the school has on its students. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the school's emphasis on wellbeing and resilience is exactly what we want for our child. We're so glad we made the decision to join the Shepherd Primary community! *(Mar 2022)*
