PBL –Expectation Focus for the Week

This week’s focus for PBL is:

“Be Honest”

Being honest means telling the truth. Regardless of whom you are talking to, it is so important to be honest. Everyone including teachers, parents and students value your honesty. Just remember, it is always easier to just tell the truth.

The Partners in Learning Parent Feedback Survey This term, our school will be participating in the Partners in Learning parent survey, another part of the Tell Them From Me suite of surveys (student, teacher and parent surveys) on student engagement. The survey asks parents and carers questions about different factors that are known to impact on student wellbeing and engagement. Running this survey will help our school understand parents’ and carers’ perspectives on their child’s experience at school. These include: communication between parents/carers and staff, activities and practices at home and parent/carer views on the school's support of learning and behaviour. This valuable feedback will help our school make practical improvements. The survey is conducted entirely online at home or on public computers. The survey will typically take 15 minutes or less to complete and is completely confidential. The parent survey will be conducted between 10th September and 26 October. Participating in the survey is voluntary; however, your responses are very much appreciated.

To participate in this survey please access the link below:
