Tell Them From Me Survey 2026
Parents, teachers and students (Years 4-6) are asked to provide feedback on their experience at our school using an online survey - Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Partners in Learning Survey. The survey is an important part of our whole school evaluation and planning process.
The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Parents are able to access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device Access the parent survey here
The survey is active and ready to complete.
The survey will close on Friday 12th June.
Student participants in the survey are provided with a random username and password to access and complete the survey online. Individual names cannot be linked to responses which allows it to be completely anonymous.
Results will show all combined scores for each group – it is not possible to single out individuals in the results.
If you do not wish for your child/children to complete the survey please inform your child's class teacher by completing the Tell Them From Me Student Survey Permission form available on Compass by Friday 29th May.
Semester One Reports and Parent Teacher Interviews
Semester One student reports will be published in Week 10 on Friday 26th June via COMPASS.
Parents, this is a special time for you to praise the efforts of your child for the school year. The level of effort a child puts into their work is important to acknowledge in addition to the level of performance grade awarded. Praise this where appropriate.

The interview booking schedule will be available for parents via COMPASS from Monday 22nd June.

School Supervision
There are many students arriving at school in the morning prior to school supervision which commences at 8.20am.
Students that ride their bikes to school arriving prior to 8.20am are reminded of the importance of not riding freely around the school car park.
Please be reminded that electric and e bikes are not permitted on the school premises.
We encourage all students to arrive at school in time for playground supervision to assist in maintaining a safe school environment.
Dangerous Parking
Parents please be reminded that students should not be dropped off in the morning or collected in the afternoon from Burns Lane. Not only does stopping in this area add to the traffic congestion as cars leave the school premises but it is dangerous for so many families who use Burns Lane in the morning and afternoon.
