"Some positives but room for improvement"

We have mixed feelings about St John Bosco Catholic Primary School. On the one hand, our child enjoys the school and the teachers are generally supportive. However, we feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and communicate effectively. Additionally, we were disappointed that the school didn't offer more extracurricular activities.
