Parent Survey Results

Celebrating Our School  Community

2026 Parent/Carer Opinion Survey

We would like to thank the 117 parents and carers who took the time to participate in the 2026 Parent/Carer Opinion Survey. 

With a response rate of 33%, your feedback  provides valuable insight into what we are  doing well at Auburn South Primary School and where we can continue to grow.

We are pleased to share some of the encouraging results, which reflect the  strong sense of community, care and connection that makes Auburn South such a special place to learn and grow.

A Safe, Caring and Inclusive Environment

One of the most encouraging findings was the confidence families expressed in the safe and respectful environment we strive to create for every child.

• 95% agreed that their child is treated with respect.
• 91% agreed that the school cares about their child’s safety.
• 90% reported that their child feels safe at school.
• 85% agreed that the school cares about their child’s wellbeing.

These results reinforce the importance of our  ongoing focus on student wellbeing, respectful relationships and ensuring every child feels safe, valued and supported.

A Strong Sense of Belonging and Connection

Our school community continues to be a  wonderful strength, with families recognising  the opportunities students have to connect, participate and thrive.

• 92% agreed that their child has  opportunities to participate in school  activities.
• 85% was the positive response for school connectedness.
• 82% agreed that their child has  opportunities to develop responsibility.
• 82% agreed that their child has  opportunities to make decisions and solve problems.

These findings reflect our commitment to  developing confident, capable and engaged  learners who feel connected to their school community.

Celebrating Our Teachers and Learning Environment

It was also pleasing to see families recognise the positive contributions of our teachers and the learning opportunities available to students.

• 83% agreed that teachers model positive behaviour.
• 79% agreed that teachers are  enthusiastic and positive about teaching.
• 76% agreed that teachers expect their  child to do their best.

• 73% agreed that the school celebrates  student achievements across all areas.

   

Connecting and Engaging with Our School  Community

We were particularly pleased that 92% of respondents agreed they can access the information they need through our regular school communication channels, while 85% felt that the school values parent and carer contributions. These results highlight the importance of keeping families informed, involved and connected to school life.

Continuing to Learn and Improve

While there is much to celebrate, we also  recognise that every piece of feedback provides an opportunity for us to reflect, learn and continue to improve.

One area highlighted through the survey was  communication about student learning and  progress, with 44% of families responding positively when asked whether teachers communicate often enough about their child’s progress.

We recognise how important it is for families to feel informed and connected to their child’s learning journey. Moving forward, we will continue to explore ways to strengthen how we share student  progress, celebrate learning achievements and provide families with  meaningful information about their child’s  development and next steps in learning.

The feedback from our families is an important part of our school improvement journey, and we value the opportunity to reflect on our practices and strengthen the partnerships between home and school.

Thank you once again to our families for your engagement, feedback and continued support. Together, we can continue to make Auburn South Primary School a welcoming, inclusive and engaging place where every child is supported to learn, grow and thrive.
