Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS)

We value student voice as a means to improving student engagement, wellbeing, and quality instruction and conducting a survey is one of the ways to find out what our students think of their school. 

The Attitudes to School Survey is an annual student survey offered by the Department of Education to assist schools to gain an understanding of students' perceptions and experience of school. Students will be asked about their thoughts and feelings in relation to their school, their learning, peer relationships, resilience, bullying, health, and wellbeing. We will be starting the survey in the coming weeks. 

Seizing Opportunities – After School Help Sessions

Students and families are reminded that Horsham College runs after school help sessions for English (Mondays & Thursdays) and Maths (Mondays). These are staffed by qualified teachers and allow students to further develop their skills across both subjects. The purpose of these sessions is to help all students, whether that be for catching up, or deepening and extending understanding and skills. Attending these sessions is a great way to support homework and study habits.

School Council will meet for its Annual General Meeting next Wednesday, 21st May at 7pm, where the Annual Report for the 2024 school year will be presented.  Families are invited to attend this public meeting, which will be held in A4 in the Administration building.
