Department of Education Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Survey

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

All families are invited to participate in the survey.

The Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey is open until Friday 8 September 2023.

The survey will be conducted online, only takes 20 minutes to complete, and can be accessed at any convenient time within the survey period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. The online survey will be available in English and 10 other languages including Arabic, Greek, Hakha Chin, Hindi, Japanese, Punjabi, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Turkish, and Vietnamese.  Results from the survey will be available to the community via the newsletter and Annual Report. The Parent / Carer / Guardian survey, along with the Student and Staff surveys provide feedback to the school and opportunities for reflection and positive improvement.  Please see the Compass post pinned to the top of your Compass Newsfeed to complete the survey.

Rear of School Renovations Update

As community members, you will be aware the school has been renovating the landscaping at the rear of the school.  Thank you to the volunteers who joined Science teacher, Steve Crook at our working bee last week to begin our mass planting. This will continue in the coming weeks with students. 

Thank you also to groundskeepers, Kim and Shane for completing the first stages of installing the Netball Club Grandstand.

It is hoped the area will be completed and flourishing ready for our Smoking Ceremony Assembly with Murrundindi on Monday 13th November.
