Have your say in our PA Survey
We would love to hear from you regarding our PA. Please click on the link below to complete our survey.
https://forms.gle/PHV44FxQyUJSsDGa8
The USPS Parents' Association are seeking input from parents/carers regarding the future directions of our association. We would love to hear from as many parents/carers as possible. We have an amazing school community, and we aspire as an association to support the school, and our students, in everything we do.
This survey link will close 4:00pm Friday 29th March 2024.
Please only complete one survey per family. We trust that your responses will capture input from all parents/carers in your family.
There are four main sections of this survey, which should take ~10 minutes to complete.
Please contact the school office if you require assistance, or an alternative format, to undertake the survey.
PA Involvement
Please consider if you can join, to help generate momentum heading into 2024. The commitment can be as large or small as you can manage – from volunteering for specific events or driving them. No experience is necessary, just a current Working with Children’s Check. Please refer to the table below as a guide to involvement (more events have been run in the past and can be added if there are people to coordinate them).
