St Therese's Catholic Primary School - Denistone, New South Wales

It’s a wonderful school, the teachers are great, they’re focused academically and attentive to what’s going on in each class and with each child. I suppose it’s something that they can do as a smaller school and it’s why we like it. The Principal is fantastic, he is well respected and keen to get the best from both the children and his staff. We’re very lucky to have him. I have three children who have attended and are still attending St Therese’s Catholic Primary School at Denistone. I feel as if the school has really given them a grounded start to their education. My eldest is now attending a much larger Catholic High School in the area and finds the transition from a smaller school to the larger one fine, but I think it’s because he’s had a well-rounded and enjoyable education at St Therese.

I am not very sure about the authenticity of some of the negative reviews below however, I can confirm in our time at STT Denistone we have not experienced bullying or mean kids. Every interaction with teachers/staff and principles our queries were handle with the up-most professionalism, empathy and kindness. From the initial open day, we have always felt a warmth at STT Denistone and our daughter has never come home upset nor not wanting to go to school.

A fantastic school guided by great leadership and teachers along with an excellent group of parents and families not to mention a respectful group of children across the school. It is a small school with a lot to give, a balanced approach to ensure a well nurtured and healthy educational environment keeps the children focused and cheerful. Highly recommended!

A very caring and inclusive school and community within the school. Great communication and attention to detail in education and care for our children. We have never felt so much at easy dropping and picking our children from any educational facility as much as we have at STT Denistone. The values and culture of the school and the behavior of the children in more senior classes just shows how well balanced and genuinely caring all of the teachers, leadership team, parents and families are. A great plus is the focus on literacy in early stages which our children are enjoying throughly.

St. Therese's has been great for my children. In my experience, the staff are caring and provide a great learning environment and systems for the children.

Being a small school means the children don't get lost in the "noise" and they are able to experience working with and socialise with kids of all ages. There is also a great community feel that is actively encouraged in the school with children and parents.

The buddy system with the kindy children especially helps the kindy children adjust to a bigger school environment.

St. Therese's doesn't only focus academics, which is important to support balanced healthy well rounded children.

Choosing the right school for your child is not an easy experience and having chosen St Therese's for our son, we couldn't be happier with the school so far.

The prinicipal, Adam Nolan, has always had his door open to chat about the school, what to expect, and how our son would be familiar with the school and vice versa before day 1 of Kindy. This was achieved through multiple orientation visits to the school as well as Mr Nolan visiting the pre school to maintain familiarity with our child, and same for all other kids.

The first couple of weeks have been seamless for us and our son, with any transition challenges experienced by our son being discussed with us quickly and managed gently and with compassion for the change that any 5 year old would be experiencing.

The school community has been warm, empathetic and supportive, activities are available for parents to be involved in the development of the school and the community, and the communication from the school and it's staff has been first class. Genuine care and interest in our family is evident in every discussion with school staff.

Smaller student numbers has meant personalised support and care for our child, as well as tailored learning pathways and support for all children. Its also meant that our family and our child are not just another number. In an area of Sydney where there are many, many primary schools to choose from I couldn't recommend St Therese's enough.

A terrific school. A nurturing environment with excellent leadership. Teachers are caring and skilled educators. Both of my kids have loved being at St Therese's Catholic Primary School. We couldn't have asked for more.

Outstanding school. Caring, knowledgeable teachers and a strong community of parents make this school a great learning space. Our kids transferred from another school in the area and have been happy ever since. They love St. Therese's, we feel trully blessed to be a part of this community.
