## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful community, top-notch education!: St Benedict's has been an incredible experience for my child. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the staff are warm and welcoming. The school's emphasis on faith and values has helped my child develop a strong sense of self and compassion for others. We're so grateful to be a part of this community! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some great aspects, but room for improvement: We've had a mixed experience at St Benedict's. On the one hand, the school's commitment to Catholic values is something we really appreciate, and the facilities are generally well-maintained. However, the class sizes can feel a bit large at times, and we've had some issues with communication between teachers and parents. With a bit more attention to these areas, I think the school could really excel. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and caring staff: My child thrived at St Benedict's during their time there. The teachers were knowledgeable and supportive, and the extracurricular programs were a great way to encourage creativity and teamwork. The school's commitment to Catholic values was also a big draw for us – we felt like our child was getting a well-rounded education that went beyond academics. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — A loving and inclusive environment: I've been really impressed with the way St Benedict's has welcomed my child and made them feel part of the community. The school's focus on social-emotional learning has also been a game-changer – my child is able to express their feelings and needs in a way that's really healthy. The staff are always available to chat and help with any issues that come up. *(Jun 2021)*
