Have your say in our PA Survey

We would love to hear from you regarding our PA. Please click on the link below to complete our survey.

https://forms.gle/PHV44FxQyUJSsDGa8

The USPS Parents' Association are seeking input from parents/carers regarding the future directions of our association. We would love to hear from as many parents/carers as possible. We have an amazing school community, and we aspire as an association to support the school, and our students, in everything we do.

This survey link will close 4:00pm Friday 29th March 2024.

Please only complete one survey per family. We trust that your responses will capture input from all parents/carers in your family.

There are four main sections of this survey, which should take ~10 minutes to complete.

Please contact the school office if you require assistance, or an alternative format, to undertake the survey.
