Parent Opinion survey

We have sent the survey to about 30 percent of our parent community. Thank you to those parents who have responded. For those who haven’t yet had a chance to complete the survey, it only takes 10-15 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. It is open until Sunday 11 August.

The survey results will be reported back to the school at the end of September. The results are presented to staff and at a school council meeting. Last year we used the survey results to plan ways in which we can better communicate with parents through Compass, email, the newsletter and our Facebook pages. We have also put a range of strategies in place this year to improve our survey results in the areas of classroom engagement, high expectations for success and student motivation.

Please contact Bronwyn Moline if you have any questions about the Parent Opinion Survey.
