Annual Parent Opinion Survey

At Northcote High School we value parent feedback, connection and engagement through a variety of sources. These range from School Council and working groups to information evenings, surveys (such as the one above), workshops, specialist volunteers and consultants and the ongoing communication through meetings, emails and phone calls.  We are currently conducting the annual Parent Opinion Survey to find out what parents think of our school. The Parent Opinion Survey is offered by the Department of Education and Training and is conducted amongst a sample of randomly selected parents at each school across the state.

It is designed to assist our school in gaining an understanding of parents’ perception of school climate, student engagement and relationships with our parent community. We use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

The survey will be conducted online by ORIMA Research Pty Ltd and only takes 15 minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed via desktop computer, laptop, tablet or mobile at any convenient time within the fieldwork period from Monday 7th August to Sunday 27th August.

Approximately 30 per cent of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey. All responses to the survey are anonymous. If you have been selected to participate, you will have received an email or letter from us with instructions for the survey.  The survey is provided in a range of languages. If you have been asked to participate in the survey, we ask that you please take the time to give us your input: it is important to us.

The survey results will be reported back to our school at the end of September.  Last year we used the survey results to inform our Annual Implementation Plan, including planning and consultation around our future model of curriculum provision and student choice.
