Fairly average school my children attended this school when previous principal was there. I have worked in schools myself and didn't feel the standard as good as schools l worked in around the North Coast. However I and people l was friendly with whose children also attended the school are most impressed with the changes. Just a pity they came too late for our children now grown up. The draw back for residents of the area is significantly worse issues with parents parking on the main road of Rugby avenue. So many times since September I have had people nearly running into myself on the way to work
