| Reviews | | By Parent - 30 Jun 2011, Rate: excellent | | This school has provided my children with a well rounded, holistic education. The focus is on the whole child where co-curricula, sport, tutor groups and the outdoor education program provide opportunities for teachers to really know the students well. Knowing students in these many different contexts enables the teachers to then get the best from students in classroom. There is also a strong sense of community and belonging at the school together with a global perspective. My children have had amazing opportunities to travel overseas on school trips to complement the curriculum or with a focus on humanitarian aid. I would highly recommend this school to families who value quality education - because that is what you'll get. | | | By Parent - 23 Jan 2008, Rate: excellent | (Junior school)
A well developed Ad astra model for ensuring bright primary school chidren's skills are accelerated, but there is a need to concentrate more on developing skills & perhaps different pathways for children who are more academically challenged. Very good mix of male/female teachers of high quality in the primary school.
Many co curricular activities to suit all children. Music and performance are strengths, with room for soccer and basketball. Facilities are of a high quality.
Fees are fairly high but in line with other private anglican schools. Many parents struggle to pay the fees at the current level, so rises need to be kept to a minimum.
(Senior school - comments from the outside)
In the senior school there is a need to increase student numbers to full capacity. This might allow for more flexibility in programming to developing student needs, rather than continuing to offer traditional options, perhaps based partly on current teacher expertise. | | |
