## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — Some inconsistencies, but overall a good school: We've had a mixed experience with St Mary's and St Joseph's, our child is in Year 5 and the teachers are mostly good, but sometimes we feel that the school doesn't listen to parent concerns. The facilities are good and the Catholic values are great, but we've had some issues with communication and consistency *(Nov 2022)*
