## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Dare to be... and they do!: We're thoroughly impressed with TBGS so far. My son is thriving in his new school and loves the sense of community. The 'Dare to be...' mantra is inspiring and the teachers are all passionate about helping their students grow. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our son to TBGS. *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — A Good School with Room for Improvement: We chose TBGS for its reputation and facilities, and while it's been a good experience for my son so far, I think there's room for improvement in terms of communication with parents. The teachers are generally supportive, but sometimes it feels like they're not listening to our concerns. That being said, the school's values and programs are excellent, and I'm glad we made the decision to send our son here. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Facilities: My son loves his time at Torquay Boys' Grammar School. The facilities are top-notch and the teachers are always available to support him. The school's values of excellence, leadership, and integrity really shine through in everything they do. We couldn't be happier. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional School Experience: My son graduated from TBGS a few years ago and it was an incredible experience for him. The school provided him with the academic foundation and confidence to achieve his goals. I also appreciated the emphasis on extracurricular activities and sports - he made lifelong friends and developed a passion for music. *(Mar 2022)*
