"Mixed Experience"

We had a mixed experience at Sacred Heart. The school's Catholic ethos is something we appreciated, but some of the facilities were a bit outdated and the communication with parents could be better. Our child had a good time, but we did feel a bit lost at times navigating the school's policies and procedures.
