## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Excellent School for Our Children: My children have been at Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School for the past few years and we've been thoroughly impressed with the standard of education, the care and attention from the teachers and the overall atmosphere of the school. We've seen a huge improvement in their confidence and academic abilities. The only reason we didn't give it a 5-star review is because of the occasional issue with punctuality, but the school has been working hard to improve this. *(Oct 2025)*
- **5/5** — A Hidden Gem: We were a bit hesitant to move our children from their previous school, but Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School has exceeded all our expectations. The teachers are passionate and dedicated, the facilities are excellent and the children are happy and engaged. The school's focus on faith and values is also a big plus for us as a Christian family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful school in the area. *(Jun 2025)*
