"Mixed feelings"

We moved our child to Gravenhurst Academy mid-year, so it was a bit of an adjustment. The staff were lovely and tried their best to support us. However, the school day is quite long and my child sometimes gets overwhelmed. Still, it's a good school and we're grateful for the experience.
