2023 Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey
Our school is conducting a survey for parents/caregivers/guardians to gain feedback on where the school is performing well and areas for future improvement.
This is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education that is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families' perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement. The survey is optional, although we encourage all families to participate. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.
This year we are inviting all families to participate in the survey and currently we have received a much lower than anticipated response rate.
We would love to see us get over 100!
The Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey is open until Friday 8 September 2023.

Professional Practice Day - Monday 28 August
On Monday 28 August, our staff will be participating in a Professional Practice Day, which will be a Pupil-Free Day. This day is a valuable opportunity for our dedicated teachers to engage in professional development activities, collaborate with colleagues, and enhance their teaching practice, all of which ultimately contribute to a better learning experience for our students.
Professional Practice Day is an essential component of our commitment to continuous improvement in education. It allows our teachers and staff to take a step back from their daily responsibilities and focus on refining their skills and knowledge. The Department of Education recognises the importance of providing educators with the time and resources they need to stay updated with the latest educational advancements, teaching methodologies, and classroom technologies.
Kind Regards,
