"Fantastic School Community"

My child attended St John Bosco from Reception to Year 6 and we loved every minute of it. The school's faith community is fantastic and the facilities are excellent. The staff go above and beyond to support the children and we felt so valued as parents.

"Some Good, Some Not So Good"

We have been pleased with our child's progress at St John Bosco, but we have experienced some challenges with the communication from the school. The open evenings and parent-teacher meetings have been helpful, but we feel that more regular updates would be beneficial.
