"A wonderful school that really cares"

We've been at St Mary & St Thomas for 2 years now and I'm so impressed with the school. The staff are always willing to listen and help, the facilities are great and my child loves the Spanish lessons and the outdoor adventures. We really feel like we're part of a community here. The school's Christian values are also something that we're proud to be a part of.

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We've been at St Mary & St Thomas for a year now and it's been a mixed experience. The school has a lot of great things going for it, including the staff and the facilities. However, my child sometimes struggles with the homework and I feel like the school could do more to support parents who are struggling to help their children. Overall, it's a good school and I think it could be great with a bit more effort.

"Exceptional education and excellent opportunities"

My children attended St Mary & St Thomas for 7 years and we couldn't have been happier. The school's academic achievements are outstanding, but it's the opportunities that they offer outside of the classroom that really make it stand out. From the arts program to the sports facilities, my children have grown into confident and capable individuals. I would highly recommend St Mary & St Thomas to any parent.
