Village School

My two boys have been attending the school since February 2023 and so far it has been nothing but a positive experience for the whole family. The school welcomes individual differences and students are able to learn at their own pace. Parents and carers take an active part in the school life. I have enjoyed their transparency, community spirit, and mutual support. Children get a chance to socialize with younger and older kids on a daily basis, and a teacher-student relationship is not authoritarian. Overall I am very pleased with the school and my kids have been thriving there. Thank you Ashley and all the Village teachers and support staff for making it a beautiful, child-centred space.

I went to village school from prep to grade 5.It was an amazing experience for me. Everyday was an adventure at village school.The teachers were lovely and always there to help out. And all the students learned at there own pace.Learning was always made fun and engaging.And village had there own farm and the students helped look after the animals.Village school is an amazing school. And I have so many found memory's from it.

I am in the process of looking for a school for my son. Reading the review from former student Charlotte Mp, I can see she's come through school without learning how to spell. Suggest you take down her review, or get her to correct her spelling. I won't be sending my child here.

This is one of the best schools I've ever encountered. Children study in small classes with a lot of time for free activities and a big emphasis on independence and personal projects. Boundaries between age groups are intentionally blur - older children are encouraged to be helping out the younger ones. There is a lot of outdoor area with various terrains. There are chickens and ponies that children learn to take care of (and ride!). Every time I come here I wish I was young enough to study in this school!One of the best markers for how kids themselves enjoy the school is that the ones who have already graduated keep coming to check things out, play with children, and to help out with school performance and smaller chores.

We selected Village for our son and we are incredibly pleased that we did. The dedication of the teachers under the exemplary direction of our principal Tanya continues to surpass our expectations. The five R’s: responsibility, reliability, resilience, respect and resourcefulness are embedded into every corner of village life. The variability of experiences and learning opportunities mean that our son can learn in grow in his own time, at his own pace. The school community is tight knit, welcoming and inclusive. They say it takes a village to raise a child, you’ll most definitely find that community here!

It's so refreshing to be at a school which recognises that each learner is an individual who will develop at different speeds both academically and emotionally. Ashley's positive, inclusive and flexible manner has given our child the invaluable opportunity to experience steady and transformative success that is sure to last a lifetime. We are forever grateful for the support we have received at Village school - thank you to everyone there who has helped make such a difference!

The Village school offers my son a creative and flexible space to learn. He is engaged and excited about the term themes and all the tasks and activities pulled together that are fun and don’t particularly feel like lessons. Teachers are approachable and eager to work with parents to improve outcomes for students.

This school is awful!My daughter went to prep at village and during covid I asked for my fees to be reduced as both my ex husband and I lost our jobs, they said NO to a fee reduction and Tanya the principal said your child is getting all the same interaction just not in our building". Which was a disgrace and we were unable to attend home school session as we did not have access to the internet during this time! I explained this and they gave us a small discount for that one term.I gave them the benefit of the doubt and the following year sent my son and daughter back to this school and after 1 full term my son still had not settled
