Your feedback is important to us!

Dear Parents and Carers,

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 conducted amongst a sample of randomly selected parents/caregivers/guardians (previously known as the Parent Opinion Survey). 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 percent of parents will be invited to participate in this year’s survey. All responses to the survey are anonymous. This year, the Parent/Caregiver/Guardian Opinion Survey will be open from Monday August 23 to Friday 3 September, 2021. A survey link will be sent to approximately 180 families next Monday 23rd August.

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, Mandarin, Chin (Hakha), Hindi, Japanese, Somali, Turkish, Punjabi and Greek.

Please feel free to speak with me if you require further information.

Kind regards,

Steve

Prep 2022 Enrolment

Our planning and preparations for school year 2022 are well underway. We already have 4 classes enrolled in Grade Prep for school year 2022.

If you currently have a child in kindergarten, plan to enrol your child in Prep at Brighton Primary School for next year and have not yet completed the application process, we would ask that you complete this enrolment form as soon as possible.

Please return this enrolment form to our Admissions Coordinator, Sally Collins in our ES Office or via email at Brighton.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Should you prefer to complete an online version of our enrolment form, please email the office with your future prep child’s full name, so that we can send you a personal link to the online form.

By enrolling earlier, you will have access to all important updates that are sent to Prep 2022 parents throughout the year. Your advance planning will also help us make advance arrangements related to staffing and ordering classroom resources. Thank you.

If you would like to join our online 2022 Prep Parent Information Session, please book via the Compasstix link or via our school website, under the Enrolment - School Tours section. Please feel free to share this link with friends who may be interested in enrolling their children in Prep in 2022.

Please Complete Your Online Compass Survey if you haven't already done so.

Thank you to the nearly 80% of parents who have completed the survey and a reminder to those who haven't completed it yet to please complete it ASAP:

Are you returning to BPS in 2022? | If you are unsure, please write in "Unsure" and update the office when you know which school your child will be attending in 2022.

Our school has begun planning for the 2022 school year. In order to inform decisions surrounding the new school year, Brighton Primary asks parents to complete a two-question Compass Insight Survey.

You will find the survey link titled, ‘INSIGHT CYCLE OPEN | Is your child returning to BPS in 2022?', at the top of your Compass Homepage under My News.

If you are accessing Compass via your phone, please ‘open in browser’ to display the Insight Cycle. Please note, if nothing appears in "My News" it means that you have already completed the Insight.

We thank you for your assistance with this important part of our planning for 2022.
