St Paul's Catholic Primary School Gracemere

The school is pleasant to the eye the principal is wonderful and so are the staff. However as a parent you feel totally outcast. The school gives off a cold atmosphere. Everything is done by computer and most of the time the parent lounge is not even working. There is no social atmosphere in this school and I doubt if many parents even know each other or what is happening in the school . The school is very basic. The kids don't do many extras there is no end of year showcase for the kids to show how wonderful they are or a school concert no parent involvement . The only time you hear from the school is when they want money for something. Even school reports come via computer weeks after the term finishes. The school does not have mother day or father day stalls or anything extra.The school fees are reasonable but the fees for maintenance and parents and friends are ridiculous considering how many fund raising activities they do you pay more for those fees than you pay for the school fees and really I don't know how they can justify those fees but more to the point these fees are not even told to you when you enroll or inquire. It was a total shock when the bill came in. The school in my opinion is antisocial, boring , too expensive when you add everything up and really not worth the money.
