"The 'real test' of life at Eden Park is how it prepares children for 'real life'. Seeing my eldest daughter transition to secondary school has shown me what a fantastic primary education she has received and how it has prepared her successfully for the next stage of her academic career. From the nursery building blocks, through to Year 6 during a global pandemic, Eden Park has been full of wonderful experiences and opportunities."
