I currently am a senior student here, and I can say that through my time here since year 4 I have received nothing but unconditional love and support from staff and teachers. I feel valued and respected here, and teachers go above and beyond to help students. Our grade gets generally very good grades and have minimal behavioral incidents, which I would say is due to the great system. I would definetley recommend this school for anybody looking for a place with emotional and mental support as well as a lot of one on one conferencing with teachers. They really value our ideas and skills and encourage us to do our best. I have been supported after a large negative family event a few years ago and because of the loving school culture, I am better off.

I am both a parent and a teacher of Staines Memorial College. I have watched SMC grow from its infancy into an amazing school. As a parent I have watched the staff of this school nurture, encourage and inspire my three children to be the best they can be. I will watch with pride as my last child finishes grade 12 this year. As a staff member I can say that I have never worked with such a supportive and dedicated people ever before. The staff of Staines are here to educate and share their love of the Lord with your child. Sending your children to this school will give them a well rounded education and a solid understanding of what God wants for their future. I could not recommend SMC more highly it is a fantastic school.

My grandchildren attend Staines Memorial College, and we are very pleased with their progress. They have both received excellent academic results every year. In addition to this, we could not be more pleased with the emotional support they received from the kind and caring staff and school friends when the family experienced a major accident which has involved many ongoing medical interventions for a family member, over a two year period. The grandchildren are being encouraged in their faith and in caring for one another through life's difficulties.
