"Generally Satisfied, Some Issues with Communication"

We were generally happy with St Michael's during our child's time there. However, we did experience some issues with communication between teachers and parents, which was frustrating at times. The school's facilities are good, and the values are well-implemented. Overall, we're satisfied with our experience, but there's room for improvement.
