2023 Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey

We want our parents / caregivers / guardians to tell us what they think! Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents / caregivers / guardians think of our school.

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey 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 behaviour, and student engagement. The survey is optional but we encourage all families to participate. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

All families are invited to participate in the survey.

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey will be open from Monday 7 August to Friday 8 September 2023.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time within the survey period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. The online survey will be available in English and 10 other languages including Arabic, Greek, Hakha Chin, Hindi, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Turkish, and Vietnamese.

To support the Leader in Me Journey our school will be conducting a survey to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of further development in our school. The data from this survey will also help us track the impacts of the Leader in Me process and implement key practices more fully. For us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking all staff members, parents/guardians, and students to participate in the survey.

For parents and carers, the survey window is now open and will close on Friday 25th of August.

The parent and carer survey is anonymous and takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete. You will respond to questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child’s experiences as you respond, related to his or her growth.
