Satisfaction Surveys
I am very pleased to share with the community the results of our recent school satisfaction surveys. These surveys help inform the development of our Annual Improvement Plan.
The parent survey attracted 56 responses which is a 62% completion rate.
The staff survey attracted 15 responses which is a 75% completion rate.
The student survey attracted 57 responses from all students in
Year 3 to 6, this is a 90% completion rate.
These completion rates are considered excellent.
An overview of the results is presented in an executive summary. This is formed by collating the results in the following manner:
As you would imagine, once again we are very happy with these results. We would like to assure you, however, that even though they are all very positive responses we are still able to ascertain from this data the target the areas that require further strengthening.
If you made a comment in your Parent Survey, that you would like to discuss with me further, I encourage you to do so. As the surveys are anonymous I am unable to contact those who made comments that require clarification or discussion.

Devices Brought to School by Students
A reminder that if iPod's, iPads, phones, or any personal devices, are brought to school, they must be given into the Office at the start of the day and collected at the end of the school day. The devices are not to be left in the student's bags or taken into classrooms.
Scholarships
Each year the Country Women's Association of NSW offers Education Scholarships to assist with secondary schooling and the area of the Arts. Application forms can be collected from the school office and need to be submitted to the CWA State Office by 30 September.
