JSC Announcements

Parent Opinion Survey

Each year school's around Victoria conduct an opinion survey of the school community.

Next week, we will start sending out the surveys, and would appreciate your feedback. The survey is designed to take no more than 20 minutes to complete and your feedback and opinions play an important role in making our school the best it can possibly be.

Please be assured that your responses are completely confidential and will be sent to an independent organisation for collation and reporting. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and we look forward to using your feedback to inform and direct our future school planning and improvement.

Breakfast Club

We are on the lookout for parent volunteers each week to help with cereal, toast and general good vibes. If you can lend a hand on your child’s rostered day, or any day, we’d love to have you! Please email the school at carlton.gardens.ps@education.vic.gov.au with the subject line BREAKFAST CLUB.
