Let’s see what you said…
Our children were asked if they would recommend this school to a friend… I would recommend it because it is a nice school and it has really nice teachers
Selwyn is a safe place
I would because Selwyn Primary School is the best school ever and you can go to competitions and you can go on school trips and at some point when you are in year 4,5 or 6 you will go swimming!
Because this school ( I personally think) is THE BEST SCHOOL EVER!
I would because this school is nice, helpful and protective
I will recommend because this is a fantastic school.
