"St Augustine's is a wonderful school!"

We were blown away by the welcoming atmosphere at the open evening. Our daughter has settled in so well, and we're loving the opportunities she's getting to develop her skills and interests. The school's commitment to its values shines through in everything they do.

"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We had a good experience at St Augustine's, but there were some issues with communication and organization. The teachers were generally supportive, and our child made some great friends. However, we felt that the school could have done more to prepare us for the transition to Year 11.
