Parent Opinion Survey

The DET annual Parent Opinion Survey will open on the 15th August and will remain open until the 16th of September. Our school highly values the opinions of our parents and carers. Your responses assist our school to identify areas for improvement, plan for the future and also monitor our performance over time. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ 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.

Approximately 30 per cent of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey and it will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. All responses to the survey are anonymous.

If you are randomly selected, an envelope will be sent home with your child containing the school pin and the website enabling you to access the survey.
