"Mixed Feelings About the School"

We've been at St Joseph's for 5 years and we have mixed feelings about the school. The teachers are sometimes a bit strict and the communication from the school can be slow. However, the facilities are excellent and the values of respect, responsibility and safety are great. Our child is happy at school but we'd like to see some improvements in certain areas.
