School Opinion Survey 2023

Have you say about what our school does well, and how we can improve by participating in the School Opinion Survey. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes using a computer, tablet or smart phone.

An invitation to complete the Parent/Caregiver Survey was emailed to one parent/caregiver per family, and it will have the subject line ‘School Opinion Survey for parents and caregivers, 2023’. Check your junk email folders if you can’t find it.

The School Opinion Survey collection period closes Friday, 18 August 2023.
