Parent Information Sessions Survey

Recently the school has held two parent information sessions:

Y Safe (online safety) on Thurs 13/3
The Resilience Project - Building Resilience at home on Tues 25/3

This survey is for everyone, not just people who attended.

The Community Council Executive would like to better understand issues that may impact parents and carers registering for and attending these events so we can factor in scheduling and topics to meet as many families' needs as possible.

You can complete this survey online or via the paper version that comes home with your child - please don't complete both.

If you have any questions, please email the Community Council at stfacalwell.communitycouncil@gmail.com

Thank you!
