Been a parent for a long time. Happy with education, my kids haven't experienced bullying personally. My children are very happy and we will keep going into high school.

I unfortunately have to agree with other recent comments by parents. The change of principal a few years ago has been a disaster for this school. Many parents have taken their children out of the school having experienced the lack of love and care displayed by current senior staff members.

The school has changed significantly since the new principle and vice principal took over few years ago. Education standard has gone down significantly. Too much time spent on advertising and renovations. Not much in education. Even it is a small school lots of bullying all covered up by the school. Too much religious studies. It has to be balanced.

Disliked my experience with the school as a whole, had issues with sexist comments from staff to students, marking comments based on gender. Very sheltered environment with high emphasis on "christian values", small class sizes and high incidences of bullying, which is consistently covered up by school staff. Issues with disciplining staff when issues arose, and difficulty managing staff to actually cover classes. not happy.

Would not send my children anywhere else. Teachers really care. Academically sound, absolutely wonderful.

As the spouse of an employee of the school I would have to say that the school is very poorly run. Constantly my spouse is under extreme pressure because of lack of communication from management regarding deadlines and expectations. There are serious mismanagement concerns regarding the executive team within the school. Particularly as there are heads of faculty who have - by their own admition - never written a program in their life. Not to mention the inability of executive to organise senior timetables to ensure that all senior classes are allocated the amount of time required by the board of studies. Very poor.
