Testimonials
What our parents have to say.
“’ I felt great with the Gr 00 at Bennies. York enjoys it and he is really learning things from the school. He can tell me physically what he has been taught in school. Especially in religious areas. He enjoys it and never refuses going to school. ”
“Our son has been so happy in the Grade 00 class at St Bennies so much so that he asks us on Sunday mornings if he is going to school and he wants to be dropped off first everyday. We are continually impressed with his progress and confidence from the first day of school. We couldn’t be any happier with our decision. A big thank you to the loving and caring staff. ”
“Thank you St Benedict’s for Gr00. We did not know what to expect as it is the first year for this Grade, but we are so impressed with our experience so far. Blake absolutely loves going to school and loves Mrs Buntain and friends so much. He has settled so nicely already, he even asks to go to school on weekends. We are looking forward to what’s more to come.”
“Our son Flynn is absolutely in his element in the child and play centered learning environment provided by the Grade 00 teachers. He runs into school every morning and comes home with a massive smile across his face. We, as parents, love to see him so relaxed and excited about school. We are also enjoying all the feedback and photos from the teachers and feel that the communication with the parents is great. Thank you again for everything that you do for our boys.”
“We would definitely recommend this class for anyone looking for a stimulating and caring learning environment for their son with focus on religion and a moral teaching environment. We were particularly impressed at the focus on public speaking at a young age as well as the importance placed on reading. I am glad that the children are not exposed to digital technology such as tablets which are enough of a problem with instant gratification at home.”
“’Oscar has settled so well at Bennies and he looks forward to going to school, every day. The idea of being a Bennies Boy is something he takes a lot of pride in and talks about often. He loves his new teacher and the facilities are world-class.”
“’Since starting Grade 00 at Bennies this year, our big guy has done nothing but praise his teachers and the things he learns on a daily basis. He comes home every day with a new song, a new rhyme a new story. He may be quiet at school but at home he is full of words at least 20 000 of them. Its been three weeks and already in the words of Josh he says his school is “JUST PEEEEERFECT!”— ”
“We are so happy with our experience with the new grade 00 class so far. The new facility is so impressive and well organised. I love hearing the stories that come home with my son and all the new things he has learnt so far. Mieko loves going to school and doesn’t look too eager to leave when it’s pick up time, which shows us how much he enjoys his time with his teachers and classmates.”
