My son attends this school and he really loves it. The teachers are all very caring, the small community feel meant that many people new us the staff often stop to say hello in the walkways. Each year level only had two classes so all the kids know one another and grow up together. Many of the teachers have been there for a very long time and they have their families there too. The campus grounds are spectacular and my son loves when the class goes down to learn by the creek in the rainforest. The Kindergarten has an amazing nature playground which is stunning. We like the Christian values instilled but don't think they go overboard in their Christian studies at all. Chapel is only 30 mins once per week and children are not pressured from what I can see. I would recommend this school to families looking for a smaller community feel.

As a previous student looking back on my experience and years in this school, I've found that I wouldn't send my worst enemies kids to this school. Some incredible, encouraging and supportive teachers here and I'm forever grateful for those ones. Ms nsengi, mellor, wicks, ward, Mr g, oswald (most now left) all amazing. I was told by one of the teachers at this school that because my dad doesn't believe in God, he is going to burn in hell for all eternity, not really what you want to hear as a developing child. In addition to that, there was a subject called 'clear' that was devoted to proving and preaching gods existence and for those that don't, how to convert and save them, I recall watching a lot of 'documentaries' on God's existence. Mrs dvries ran this, get a longer skirt lady, no students want to be exposed to your fur. There was no sex education in this school whatsoever and I recall a lot of students becoming pregnant which I think was because of a lack of education in the school. Having to attend church every Friday to praise God for 3 hours straight is not for everybody. saying that, the church and principal are collecting $. I loved the small size classrooms, really felt like a little community. And the camping trips, excursions were cool and memorable. All in all, 2/5.

This school is really great. The Christ focus. The student focus! There is everything to like. The new principal ( I didn’t meet the last one) Mr Scott is academic and approachable. They’re making great stable changes. The kids love being there!
