## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A life-changing experience for my son: The Agricultural and Rural Centre has been a game-changer for my son. The trauma-informed approach and nurturing environment have helped him thrive in a way he never could in mainstream schools. He's made amazing progress and is so happy and confident now. I couldn't be more grateful! *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A supportive and inclusive environment: My child has only been at the Agricultural and Rural Centre for a short time, but already we've seen a huge difference in their confidence and wellbeing. The staff are all so friendly and supportive, and the facilities are amazing. We're so grateful to have found a place that truly understands the needs of our child. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about our experience: We had a bit of a mixed experience with the Agricultural and Rural Centre. The staff were all very kind and enthusiastic, but we found that the curriculum was a bit too focused on 'farm-based' skills for our child's needs. That being said, they did make significant progress in some areas and we're grateful for that. Maybe more flexibility in the curriculum would be helpful? *(Sep 2021)*
