## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Great School with Friendly Staff: I have been impressed with the way the teachers and staff at Dalton St Michael's make my son feel welcome and included. The school's Christian values are evident in the way the children are taught to respect and care for one another. The after-school clubs, such as football and dance, have been a great way for my son to make new friends and stay active. Overall, we are very happy with our choice of school. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience: My daughter has been attending Dalton St Michael's for a few years now and we have had a wonderful experience. The school's values of kindness, respect, and compassion are reflected in the way the teachers and staff treat the children. The homework club and wellbeing club have been a great support to my daughter's academic and emotional development. We love the school and feel so grateful to be a part of the community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Decent School, Room for Improvement: We attended Dalton St Michael's for a few years with our child, who is now in Year 6. While we appreciated the school's commitment to its Christian values and the friendly staff, we felt that the academic standards could be improved. The school's facilities, such as the playground and classrooms, were a bit dated and in need of renovation. That being said, our child did make some good friends and we appreciate the school's efforts to support their emotional well-being. *(Nov 2021)*
