## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: Loreto has its strengths and weaknesses. On the one hand, the school's Catholic mission is inspiring and the staff are passionate about teaching. On the other hand, I've found the communication between teachers and parents to be somewhat inconsistent. My child enjoys the extracurricular activities, but I wish there were more opportunities for parental involvement. *(Dec 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding Values and Facilities: My daughter loves Loreto and it's been a game-changer for our family. We appreciate the emphasis on Mary Ward's values of Freedom, Sincerity, Truth, Justice and Joy which are evident in the school's behaviour and attitude towards the community. The facilities are amazing and the teachers are always supporting our children. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Support: I was a parent at Loreto for five years and I'm so grateful for the experience. The school provided my children with an excellent education and the support they needed to thrive. I appreciate the variety of extracurricular activities and the 'no plastic' policy which aligns with our family's values. *(Feb 2022)*
