2019 Parent Satisfaction Survey Analysis

Firstly, I really want to thank all parents who completed our parent satisfaction survey last year. We do really value all your comments – about the things we do well and the things you think we can do better. I want us to be the best school we can possibly be, and we are definitely assisted in that commitment of ours by all your ideas, feedback and suggestions. So thank you to you all.

As you know, we are really committed to an open and transparent approach in the administration of this school. It is very important to me that:

1. We know what parents think and use this to continue on our journey of striving for excellence and constant improvement.
2. We report to parents openly about the results of this sort of survey, so that parents know, too, what we are thinking and about the way forward.

I hope that this summary of the results of the parent survey from 2019 is clear and helpful. If you do have any comments or questions, please don’t hesitate to give me a ring.

IPSOS Australia was again commissioned by us to design and administer the survey, and analyse the feedback and present us with the results.  Fieldwork was conducted in August/September of last year. The survey was completed on-line as usual. The structure of the questionnaire was similar to that used in the previous studies conducted for the school. We did ask for a little more information in two main areas than we had in previous cycles – one about our efforts to improve our Sporting Programs, and also about the work of the Trust and its up-coming Capital Campaign.

In total, 347 questionnaires were returned – reasonably representative across students from Kindergarten to Year 12. We thank everyone who returned a survey – your feedback is very important to us and I know your views will contribute to helping us grow and develop in the years ahead. So I really appreciate your taking the time to really reflect on all aspects of the school performance.
