"Being a new family to the School this year, we are so delighted with how Bella (Year 1) and Jack (Year 2) have settled in. Bella’s level of learning, especially spelling, is coming along in leaps and bounds and we have found that the boys’ energy is really directed well. Jack has learnt chess and they both love the food garden activities.

Also, the School isn’t too big, so children know the teachers’ names even if they don’t have them in class. The teachers have time to be really dedicated to the students, without having to take time out to discipline them all the time.

I attended an assembly recently and two words to describe it would be 'nurturing' and 'sophisticated'. It wasn’t 'all talk with no action’ as I saw children talking very capably into the microphone, which is a great life skill to be learning so young."

"I was so impressed."

"From our first point of contact with Toorak College, we have found everyone so approachable and genuine. Donna (Registrar) very kindly took us to our first assembly then walked us to class. Catherine on reception (Junior School) has been wonderful too, helping us find our feet and following through on our inquiries.

Madisson has had to change schools a couple of times in recent years as we were in New Zealand for a few months, but she has been able to settle into Mr Underwood’s (Year 1) class quickly and happily – a very different experience to anywhere else."

"She always has exciting things to tell me, has made some lovely friends. Madisson is loving her life."
