Testimonials received by St Thomas Willoughby:
When moving to Sydney my biggest worry was how my children would settle into a new school. But from the moment they started, they have never looked back. They have made many new friends and enjoyed all the aspects of the curriculum as well as all the sports events such as the mini-Olympics sports day and the excursions to the zoo and Elizabeth Farm to name a few. St. Thomas is a wonderful school with a community to match. The staff know the children and parents by name, everyone made us feel really welcome from our very first visit. We are very happy and lucky to be a part of the St Thomas school and community. M.Walsh
The support, guidance and encouragement of the St Thomas’ staff creates a positive environment where my children have been able to thrive. The welcoming, helpful and caring office staff have many times been a second Mum to my children. The teachers and Leadership team are dedicated and committed to academic, social and spiritual growth. We appreciate Enrica’s open door for any questions and concerns we have had. This is a caring school with involved parents, and we are grateful to be part of this community. C. Menzies

The welcoming environment extends to parents as well, making us feel involved and assured that our children are in caring and capable hands at all times. Similarly, we as parents have also been warmly welcomed into a community of other exceptional parents and carers with similar values to ours, which has fostered new lifelong family connections.

She is a knowledgeable, kind & passionate educator, her leadership has created a nurturing atmosphere where every student and parent of the school feels welcomed and included.

What our community is saying:
I was at Westfield Chatswood today, with my 2 young grand- daughters (Aged 3 and1). We enjoyed your concert so much. The children’s behaviour was exemplary and obvious to us how much they enjoyed singing. A special call out to your teacher who, it appeared, single-handedly conducted and managed the event. It was a pleasure to see her rapport with all the children which was exceptional. Please pass on our thanks to your young students and teacher for such a special concert.
