"AVPS has always gone above and beyond for my daughters. It truly is a wonderful school making big dreams come true. Our girls have been to regional sporting events, public speaking events, been part of the ambassador program, gardening club, book club, resilience project, school musicals, choir and so much more. We love that all the teachers know all the students and all the parents. They have a wonderful open door policy and are happy to discuss anything with us if we need it. And if course the wonderful P&C too! AVPS will always be one of the best decisions we have made as parents."

"Since being at AVPS my kids have excelled and gained so much confidence within themselves, From having supportive Teachers to gaining great friendships with all ages. I highly recommend coming in and seeing the school for what it is, friendly teachers and kids and they are also well cared for at school. It’s not just a community, it’s a family.:

Nothing is ever an issue and we recommend this amazing school to anyone who wants to see their children thrive. "
