    Disappointing. Very hit and miss.
    The good thingsFriendly colleagues. Quality primary programs, particularly in lower/early learning.
    The challengesThe facilities are aged and some of the classrooms spaces aren’t conducive to quality teaching and learning. The expectations on staff are unrealistic. Students rely heavily on devices and seem to have gaps in their learning.
