## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Some positives, but communication could be improved: My child has been attending St Francis of Assisi for a year now, and while they've made some great friends and had some positive experiences, I feel that communication with the teachers has been inconsistent. Sometimes we get updates, but other times we seem to be left in the dark. I'm not sure if this is just a one-off or a systemic issue, but I do hope it gets addressed. *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — A true community and supportive staff: I've been impressed by the warm welcome I received at St Francis of Assisi since my child joined. The staff have been incredibly supportive and understanding. My child loves the Catholic values and the emphasis on kindness and respect. The school's accessibility features have also been a huge advantage for our family. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and facilities: As a former parent, I can confidently say that St Francis of Assisi provided our children with an excellent education and a wide range of facilities. From the state-of-the-art sports hall to the well-stocked library, the school has consistently supported our children's academic and extracurricular growth. I'm so grateful for their time there. *(Sep 2021)*
