"Highwood Primary School - Excellent Experience"

I have two children who attended Highwood Primary School and I couldn't be more satisfied with the education and care they received. The teachers were approachable, the facilities were excellent, and the emphasis on learning behaviours such as perseverance and teamwork was refreshing. We loved the SPLAT sessions and the creativity they encouraged.

"Mixed Feelings About Highwood"

My child started at Highwood Primary in Year 1 and we've had a mixed experience. The teachers are generally supportive, but sometimes the communication between school and parents is lacking. The facilities are great, and we love the SPLAT sessions. However, we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents who have children in different year groups.

"A Truly Outstanding School"

We've had the pleasure of sending our children to Highwood Primary School for several years now, and it's been an absolute delight. The teachers are exceptional, the facilities are top-notch, and the emphasis on learning behaviours is exactly what we want for our children. The school's approach to education is holistic and supportive, and we feel privileged to be part of the Highwood community.

"A Brilliant School in Every Way"

We moved to Woodley and our daughter joined Highwood Primary in Year 1. From the start, we were impressed with the school's values and the way the teachers nurtured and supported her. The school's focus on creativity, curiosity, and independence is just fantastic. Our daughter loves learning and we're so grateful to the school for instilling that in her.
