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 and Training that is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement. We encourage all families to participate in this survey. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

While previously a random sample of approximately 30 per cent of parents/caregivers/guardians have been selected to participate, this year, all families are invited to participate in the survey.

The Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey will be conducted from Monday 15th August to Friday 16th September.

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. These include: Arabic, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Chin (Hakha), Hindi, Japanese, Somali, Turkish, Punjabi and Greek.

A letter outlining the login instructions was sent home on Tuesday 16th August and reminder messages with links will be sent out via Xuno messages weekly.Please speak to your child’s teacher if you would like more information.

Student Support Group Meetings
SSG meetings will occur in September during the week starting Monday the 5th of September. Student support group meetings are a fantastic opportunity to discuss your child’s learning and progress towards their goals. Please look out for more information through Xuno and contact your child's teacher if you have any questions.

Footy Colours Day
Fight Cancer Foundation's Footy Colours Day is a national community fundraising event that helps kids with cancer keep up with school. Join thousands of Australians by wearing your favourite team’s colours (AFL, Rugby, Cricket, Soccer, etc) to raise awareness for this important cause.

Book Week Celebration
It's time to celebrate children's literature with the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book Week. The theme for Book Week - 2022 is "Dreaming with eyes open...". The CBCA Book Week is a fantastic event that promotes the joy reading can bring to young minds! Schools and libraries across Australia join in the fun celebrating literature through Book Week activities, and on Wednesday August 24 staff and students are encouraged to dress up like their favourite book character for our Book Week character parade.

School iPads
We are working on introducing school iPads into our classrooms and will be asking children and their families to read and sign a user agreement which will be going out during SSG week.We hope to use Seesaw in Term 4 so our students can share what they are doing in the classroom with their families at home.
