## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed experience, but improving: Our child has only been at AYJS for a term now, so it's early days. The staff seem friendly and the facilities are good, but we've had a few issues with communication - we've had to chase up letters and updates a few times. The PRIDE values are definitely something we like about the school, though, and we're looking forward to seeing more progress. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school with a loving atmosphere: My child has been at AYJS for 2 years now and we've experienced nothing but kindness and care from the staff. The emphasis on PRIDE values has really helped her develop a sense of responsibility and empathy towards others. We're so grateful to be part of this community. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional education and values: We moved to the area 3 years ago and our child was in year 2. AYJS was our first choice due to its excellent reputation and Christian ethos. The school certainly lived up to our expectations - the teachers were supportive, the facilities were great and the PRIDE values were consistently reinforced throughout the year. We were so impressed that our child thrived and we're still in touch with friends we made at the school. *(Jun 2020)*
