Richard Johnson Anglican School Marsden Park Campus

The best school in western area. Complete facilities and the teachers are awesome.

Affordable education, with friendly staff in a God honoring environment. Love the rural outlook and the fact that children have room to move, run and learn whilst watching the school grow from Pre-K eventually to a yr 12 campus.

I do not go to this school or know anyone who does but my school st lukes has the worst rating of all of the schools this school sounds amazing and they actually sound like they care about student wellbeing, my school literally has a day called wellbeing Wednesday" and yet my mental health has never been lower i am now going on anxiety pills because of this school and its only getting worse. They don't listen to any kids so if a parent or guardian is out there please report my issue to the leaders of the school and to this school keep on making school a non traumatizing experience for childrenEdit: they also made us spend $180 for a apontment that didnt even do anything (the apoing=tment went on for 19-25 mins of nothing but talking and at the end of all that they only refered us to another person who will cost us more money"

Always a pleasure to visit - the students are well mannered and the campus facilities are new and modern.

Initially we had the impression of a good school but during and after Covid we realised that is mostly a business not a school ( They put the kids to watch tv during school attendance on covid period). We asked to speak with principal as we moved interstate but no one called us they just called us a lot of times to pay few dollars for bus service. Extremely disappointed with this school;((((

My children love the school and their teachers do a fantastic job. The school is diverse and welcoming of all backgrounds.

Our kids love going to this school. The staff are amazing and we could not be happier.

Both my boys go here. What an amazing school, we moved our eldest across last year and its been the best decision we have made. High level of education surrounded with wonderful values.

‘If Staff talk to Parents as they do, how do they address our children?’I have been in two minds about whether or not to share my experience, however over the past 12 months, my husband, and both my parents have made comments about the disrespectful and abrupt nature of many teachers on Bus Duty and ‘when in a position’ to address us as parents.On multiple occasions I have been made to feel ‘nervous’ when picking up my children.I have been told to, ‘move right to the gate’, despite being literally a foot away. I have been reminded NOT to walk behind my own car when getting out to move to the footpath. I have been told both my feet must be on the footpath instead of one foot on and one foot on the crossing as I am waving at my children and they are walking towards me.During an event early last year, I was told not to come over to the group to give my child her water bottle as she had one in the bucket and I wasn’t allowed to come over.Understandably, we are living in a world of COVID. I understand and appreciate RULES and regulations, but where is the EMPATHY?Where is the KINDNESS?If this were my ‘business’ and my ‘front of staff’ addressed customers in this manner I would be addressing how we need to work on COMMUNICATING with our customers, with appropriate TONES, and that a SMILE goes a LONG WAY.We are trusting you with our children for 6+ hours a day; excluded from the School Life, as we are restricted to being OUTSIDE the gate!Is this not communicated to your staff?Is it not communicated that as parents we may feel anxious and nervous and upset that we are missing so many of our child’s milestones, and that the ONLY real way to gauge how this ‘adult’ is looking after our child is through the limited interaction at the gate, in the carpark or through package drop offs (like during Covid).I am sorry, but this needs to be addressed.It is not OK to talk ‘down’ to anyone.We are parents. We look forward to seeing our kids each afternoon and we don’t need to WORRY about ‘standing too long at the gate’ once we collect our children.We will embrace with a hug and a 10 second HELLO smile!If your staff are unable to appear pleasant, happy and understanding maybe you need to look at HOW the drop off and pick ups are sorted so that they aren’t feeling stressed or under pressure, because quite frankly I am absolutely sick of it!Leave the attitude at home.Treat us with respect.And most importantly, COMMUNICATE politely with parents! I didn’t receive ONE phone call during our last 16 week lockdown! Not ONE personalised contact and I find that so upsetting, especially when my child was marked as ‘minimal effort’ for subjects, that we had to complete during lockdown.*** Treat others how you wish to be treated ***

Lovely Christian School in Marsden park. Offering Pre-K to year 6. Before & After School care and Vacation care. Excellent Teachers and staff.Highly Recommend. Looking forward to year 7 - 12 expansion over the next few years.
