| The teachers, the admin staff and the facilities are all great. There is a free swimming program, free after school sport program, specialist ESL program, PEAC and much more. My child has a specialist science teacher, phys-ed teacher, mandarin teacher, library sessions and learns sign language from the additional special needs EA in his class. All for $35 voluntary contribution a year. It is a fantastic school. | Parking is a bad problem which does need to be addressed. The small amount of nearby available parking is not enough and the available parking further away is impractical and too far away for mothers with other smaller children. | It is a fantastic school. There needs to be better parking facilities and like everywhere it has a few disruptive students. Like all education, parents need to be involved and hands-on in your child's daily schooling to ensure high standards and their happiness at school. But if your willing to, Bannister Creek is a great school with a balanced holistic view and wonderful, caring teachers. | ||
