2020 Parent Opinion Survey 

WE WANT OUR PARENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK! 

Our school is conducting a survey to find out what parents think of our school. The Parent Opinion Survey is an annual survey offered by the Department of Education and Training that is conducted amongst all parents. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of parents’ perceptions of school climate, student behaviour, student engagement and experiences of remote and flexible learning. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies. All parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey. All responses to the survey are anonymous. This year, the Parent Opinion Survey will be conducted from Monday 12th October to Friday 13th November.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time within the fieldwork period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. The online survey will be available in a range of languages other than English. 

The survey results will be communicated to parents through annual reporting.  Last year we used the survey results to plan for improvements in our curriculum, our school environment and our communication with families.  

Links to the survey have been emailed out to all families with a pin number and we ask that you please complete the survey when you receive it.  We are on a journey of improvement and your input is very important.
