"Mixed Feelings about St Patrick's"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at St Patrick's. On the one hand, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the school's values of compassion and love are really lovely. On the other hand, my child sometimes feels a bit overwhelmed by the curriculum, and I wish there were more opportunities for parent involvement.
