PARENT OPINION SURVEY

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. The school selects families at random and issues the survey details via email. The email for this year’s survey was sent to the selected families today. 

Approximately 30 per cent of parents/caregivers/guardians have been selected to participate in this year’s 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.

 

The survey gives the school important feedback on areas of concern and also strengths as perceived by the parents. This has included parents asking for the school to have a stronger focus on grounds and maintenance, which has been a focus on the past two years.

Joshua Bourke – Leading Teacher

 

2022 School Concert

 

This year’s school concert will look different to other years in an effort to remain COVID safe.

  • To celebrate the Year 6 students’ final concert, they will work with Mrs Digby to present their own production piece at a school hall performance in Term 4.
  • Year 5s are presenting the Gala Performance of the ‘My Best Self’ program from Dancesport Confidence on Sep 15th at St Louis de Montfort Hall, Aspendale. The program has focused on Personal and Social Capabilities and Respectful Relationships this term.
  • Years F-4 will present an end of term celebration in December on the oval with a ‘picnic – style’ outdoor event in warmer weather.

You will appreciate the flexibility we are all working with to ensure many wonderful experiences for our students, whilst managing safe conditions for our whole school community. 

 

Specific dates will be advertised closer to the events.

We look forward to the celebration performances in store for us all!
