"A good school, but room for improvement"

We have mixed feelings about Probus Primary. On the one hand, the teachers are friendly and the facilities are great. However, we have found the communication with teachers to be inconsistent and sometimes feel that our child is not being stretched enough. That being said, we do appreciate the school's focus on values and the way they encourage the kids to be kind and respectful.

"Excellent school with a wonderful community"

We have been at Probus Primary for a few years now and have always been impressed with the school's values and the way the teachers support our children. The facilities are also amazing, with two playgrounds and a polytunnel that the kids love. We feel so lucky to be part of this school community.

"Our child thrived at Probus"

Our child attended Probus Primary for six years and we were consistently impressed with the care and attention they received. The school's focus on sustainability and climate action was particularly inspiring and we loved the way the kids were encouraged to get involved in the community. We have no hesitation in recommending Probus to other families.
