What families say

★ 3.6based on 18 Google reviews

Reviews of this school are sharply divided. Some parents and former students describe dedicated, caring teachers who go above and beyond — particularly for remote and station families — with one long-term family returning as a parent after a positive experience spanning decades. However, multiple one-star reviewers raise serious concerns, including poor support for online students, disorganised course materials, and inadequate follow-through on promised assistance for students with disabilities; one reviewer also alleges the principal has threatened legal action against negative reviewers.
