Hello everyone! I would love to get your feedback on the RPA school. In the past I know it didn’t have the best reputation. Anyone with kids there that can provide some insight?

I am looking at the site and is not very updated and no posts on social media either. Zero information for example on the meals 😅. The site doesn’t inspire much excitement.

Thank you!😊

Here are perfomance tables.

Thank you! I know the statistics. I was hoping for something insights from local families with kids there.

Hi! For what it's worth, I went to the PTA Quiz Night there and just did a tour this morning. My kids are not enrolled there, but I met a few parents and was very impressed by the Head Teacher. The parents seem very happy, and lively and dedicated to the school. The communication isn't the best, but the feel is great inside (nice grounds, calm classrooms, big library) and I think they're getting to be more desirable (they have a waiting list already for Year 7), so the need to respond to parents asking questions isn't as urgent? So I know nothing of personal experience there, but having been there a few times and asked questions, I would feel good about sending my kids there. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you! It is very helpful. Is true with communication isn’t great. Is non existent. 😳I follow a few of the schools on their social platforms and RPA posts 0 things 😅🫣.
