"Peel High School provides my children with a wide range of educational and fun activities; staff are supportive and go out of their way to provide opportunities for their students.” —Peel High School parent
“When my daughter started Year 7 the staff observed she was struggling with anxiety. The Learning Support Team was notified and met with us. They were very attentive and explained all the supports that had already been put in place. With the goal of helping her cope better and become more resilient, they worked with us to come up with coping strategies to use at home and at school. It is good to know my daughter is getting the care and attention she needs”. Parent” — a parent of Peel High School
