- **5/5** — A true community: We've been so impressed with St Mary's Catholic Primary School. The staff are caring and the facilities are excellent. My child loves the BREW curriculum and the emphasis on faith and values. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some positives, some negatives: We've had a mixed experience with St Mary's. On the one hand, the teachers are friendly and the facilities are great. However, the school's emphasis on faith can sometimes feel overwhelming for non-Catholic families. My child is still adjusting to the BREW curriculum and sometimes finds it confusing. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and values: My children attended St Mary's and I was consistently impressed with the education they received. The school's focus on the BREW values and the Green Flag award for sustainability was inspiring. My children have gone on to do well in their studies and have a strong sense of social responsibility. *(Jun 2021)*
