"Some Good, Some Room for Improvement"
We're still getting used to the school's transition to a new curriculum, but we're hopeful that it will pay off in the long run. The Literacy program is impressive, and our child has enjoyed the STEM club. However, we've experienced some communication issues with the school and have had to chase up information on a few occasions.

"Our Child Loves St Mary's"
We've been at St Mary's for three years now and we've seen our child grow in so many ways. The school's values of Respect, Courage, and Pride are truly reflected in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. The extra-curricular activities on offer are fantastic and our child has loved being part of the school choir.

We were so impressed with the education and care our child received at St Mary's. The teachers were always available to discuss our child's progress and the facilities were excellent. We've recommended St Mary's to all our friends with children in the area.
