Long-Term Parent, Still Trusting the Journey

We have been with Saving Grace Education Group for a few years now, and overall it has been a good journey for our family.

This year definitely started off more difficult than previous years. There were delays with some content and communication felt slower at times, which was frustrating, especially at the beginning of the term when parents and learners want everything running smoothly.

However, having been with the school for several years, I could also see that these challenges were largely due to growth. The school is clearly getting bigger and moving into improved systems, and transitions like this are never easy. What I appreciated was that updates and improvements did start coming through as the weeks went on.

The new Canvas platform is actually a big improvement for the children. It looks more organised, is easier to navigate, and helps learners keep track of their subjects better than before. My child has adjusted well to it and seems more independent with schoolwork now. Pros for us have always been the flexibility of online learning, supportive teachers, and a curriculum that continues to improve each year.

A con would be that communication during busy periods can still improve, especially when many parents are asking questions at the same time. Overall, we understand that growth comes with challenges, and as long-term parents we can see the effort being made to build something better for the children.

We are hopeful and look forward to seeing how the school continues to develop.
