Dear Armstrong Creek Community,

Thank you for your continued support of our school.

6 weeks into my first term at ACS and I still hold much admiration and amazement for the incredible school community we have. The highlight for me this fortnight has by far been the Book Week parade and seeing all the smiles on everyone's faces. What a joyful way to spend a day.

Congratulations to the above Book Week competion winners!

I continue to visit classrooms daily along with the Principal class team and the quality of teaching and learning that is taking place is a testament to your children and also the staff.

I will spend the remainder of this term into Term 4 visiting spaces, meeting students and families and working alongside staff to continue to learn the ACS way! I will be working with School Council to provide an opportunity next term for a Principal Meet and Greet and we will work to provide a format that suits as many as possible.

2024Parent \ Carer \ Guardian Opinion Survey

WE WANT OUR PARENTS / CAREGIVERS / GUARDIANS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!

Our school is conducting the annual Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey offered by the Department of Education and is seeking your feedback. The survey is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, and student engagement. The survey is optional, but we encourage and appreciate your participation.

Our school will use the survey results to assist in identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies.

Due date to complete the survey has been extended

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey will be open online until

Friday 20 September 2024.

All families are invited to participate in the survey. You will have received an invitation including instructions on how to complete the survey via Compass.

PLEASE NOTE: Only one parent / caregiver / guardian per household should complete the survey, parents / caregivers / guardians living together should complete one survey jointly. Separated parents / caregivers / guardians may complete separate surveys.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones.

The online survey will be available in English and 10 other languages including Arabic, Greek, Hakha Chin, Hindi, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Turkish, and Vietnamese. Resources are also available in additional languages to assist parents / caregivers / guardians who speak a language other than English at home. Please reach out to school directly for survey guides in your language. If you would like further information, please speak to your child’s home group teacher.
