She has been made to fully feel part of the school community, although there are no specific programmes for settlement. Her strengths have been identified and the teachers have focused on them.

It's a 'locals' school, although there are many cultures present with Sydney being what it is. The children are definitely put first in every sense and it's refreshing to see. No hesitation in recommending the school at all.
