"Good school, some areas for improvement"

We've been at Northstead for a year now and overall, we're happy with the school. The staff are friendly and the facilities are good. However, I feel that the school could do more to engage parents in decision-making processes and provide more regular updates on classroom activities.

"Excellent education and extracurriculars"

As a former parent, I can confidently say that Northstead provided my child with an excellent education and a wide range of extracurricular activities to choose from. The school's commitment to providing a 'seek to learn' environment has helped develop my child into a curious and independent learner.
