Tell Them From Me Survey Results

Thank you to the 74 parents who completed the Tell Them From Me Parent Survey.  

Listed below are some of the items that were raised by parents who completed the survey. 

Liturgies & Special Events

Parents would enjoy the opportunity to be with their children following special liturgies like Mother's Father's and Grandparents Day. We will definitely take this into consideration when planning our next liturgy. 

Increasing Presence of Casual Staff

Our dedicated staff may take leave for a variety of reasons. With our new Curriculum, our staff are often released from class to build their teacher knowledge and capacity to ultimately improve learning outcomes for your children. Our staff also have family circumstances, experience sickness and have other commitments at various times. Please understand that our student's always remain our priority, and while teachers may be on leave, they prepare detailed day plans for the casual teaching staff, with the teaching and learning that would have taken place if the regular teacher was in class. Information regarding a teacher's leave is not communciated with families unless it is an extended leave period. If and when we are able to give notice to students regarding a teacher's absence, this may be shared prior to the day. We appreciate your understanding. 

What is my child learning about in each Key Learning Area?

Some parents want to know what their child is learning about in each subject area. Each term, class teachers write detailed 'Grade Newsletters' to communciate with families what their child will be learning in each Key Learning Area. This information is shared via Compass at the beginning of each term. They have been attached again below for your information. 

A Greater need for Communication of Important Dates
Parent comments suggest that there is a need for greater communication of important school dates. Currently, important School Dates and events are available in a number of ways:
- Compass - Parents are expected to have this app on their phone for easy access.
- School Newsletter (each fortnight)
- Grade Newsletters (once each term)
- School calendar - accessed through Schoolzine and Compass
- School's Social Media Accounts (Instagram and Facebook) - weekly event reminders.
Please check this information carefully. All important dates/events are added ahead of time in preparation for these events. 
If you think there are other ways that we can communicate this information or if there is a need for more communication than we currently already provide, please let us know. 
Dont forget to have a look at our 2024 Parent Guidebook which can be found in Compass - This has essential information about our school policies, procedures, resources, and more. We hope you'll find this guide to be a valuable resource throughout the year.

Did you know that you can access the school calendar via the Schoolzine App?
In the Home tab of the App, select School Calendar in the bottom right hand corner and all school published events will appear.  You can also choose an event and then select 'Sync Event' to add the event to the calendar on your device.  This is a great way to keep up to date with up coming school events.
