Dear BHN families,  

There are two surveys we are asking you to complete at the moment. We appreciate your time and know this is a big ask. If you get a chance over the weekend, please make a cuppa, find a comfy spot in the sunshine, and tell us what you think! More info about each survey below. Thank you to all who have already completed these surveys.

  • Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey - offered by the Department of Education, is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement.
  • BHNPS Community Survey - a school-based survey to find out what our school can do to improve how we communicate
