"Excellent choice"

We couldn't be happier with Walker Riverside Academy. Our son has thrived in this supportive environment and loves the variety of extra-curricular activities available, especially the Army Cadet program. The facilities are excellent and the staff are always approachable.

"Mixed feelings"

We have been relatively happy with Walker Riverside Academy, but there have been some issues with communication and our son's experience has been inconsistent. On the positive side, the facilities are great and the teachers are generally supportive. We are hoping for an improvement in the next year.

"Wonderful school"

Our daughter attended Walker Riverside from Year 7 to Year 11 and we were consistently impressed with the care and attention she received. The Aim High ethos really resonated with us and we loved the sense of community within the school. We have no hesitation in recommending this school to others.
