"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

My child has enjoyed the extra-curricular activities at Bridgeview, such as the residential trips and sports clubs. However, I've sometimes found the communication with teachers to be lacking. Overall, it's a good school, but I think they could do more to involve parents in decision-making.
