COMMUNITY

Family School Improvement Survey

In 2026, our school is once again participating in Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools – School Improvement Surveys (MACSSIS). MACSSIS is an annual process whereby schools listen to the thoughts and feelings that students, families and staff have about how their school can improve. These surveys help inform the ongoing improvement of schools across the Archdiocese of Melbourne.

One of the main goals of the family survey is to identify the strengths and areas for improvement in our school. MACSSIS data benefits everyone within our school and provides valuable community insights on areas that each school can focus on. Our school believes it is important to encourage families to have a voice and contribute to shaping the ongoing improvement of the school. In more recent years, we have had up to 40 families complete the survey. We would love to see this number climb.

The survey is available online, can be accessed from Monday 31 August and needs to be completed by Friday 18 September 2026. This survey may only be completed once.

For families with more than one child attending our school, we ask that you focus on the eldest child attending the school when completing the survey. The school has invited many families to respond via this survey and participation is completely voluntary. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers – all responses are completely anonymous and at no point are any of the responses from students, families or staff identifiable by the school. As in past years, all P&F members and SAC members will be asked to complete the survey.

The survey is available in English, Arabic, Assyrian, simplified and traditional Chinese, Dinka, Hakha Chin, Karen, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Zomi.

We need as many families as possible to complete this survey. It forms a basis for future planning and is a great opportunity to have your say. It won’t take long but your say will have a long term impact.

You will receive your access PIN in the next couple of weeks. Please look out for the email. It will go to the first parent noted in our Family Contact List

Your participation is much appreciated.

MACSEYE

from Tracey McKay- Director Services, MACSEYE

Following a review of the outside school hours care (OSHC) service, MACSEYE has advised the school that OSHC will no longer be offered at St Luke the Evangelist from the end of the 2026 school year. This review determined the service is not able to continue sustainably due to low participation and attendance. We appreciate this news may be disappointing for some families and recognise it may require planning for future care arrangements. Families currently using the service have been contacted directly. 

Next year, families can continue to access MACSEYE Holiday Programs at other MACSEYE services. Information about Holiday Programs, including locations that may be convenient for your family, is available on the MACSEYE website. We thank families for their understanding and ongoing support of our school community.
