18.01.2022 A huge thank you to those students who have already completed the Tell Them From Me student survey! Capturing the voices of our students will help improve how we do things at our school. This is a great opportunity for our students to provide us with valuable and quick feedback on what they think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. In the last few weeks, supervisors would have received a document throug...h the post that contained a link to the Tell Them From Me online student survey with instructions and their child’s unique username and password. Please support your child to login and complete the survey during normal school hours. It should take around 30 minutes to complete. If you haven’t received your username and password please contact the school and we can provide you with this information. #connectedthroughlearning See more
