School Review
Minnamurra Public School rated 8/10⭐
Would you choose this school again for your child?
Not a chance!
Absolutely!
Please provide the main reason for your answer?
I am happy with the school and my kids are doing well but because my kids are on the academic side, I sometimes wonder if they'd be better off at an independent school.
What made you pick this school for your child?
It is our local school and when my oldest was starting kindergarten there were 6 other kids from his class who lived on our street. All the kids get the local bus to school or they ride their bikes. It's just a 2 minute drive. It also has great school grounds with an extensive field and playground. It is situated opposite the Minnamurra River.
