St Vincent's Family Feedback

Parent and Carer Survey Responses 2023-24

All of the parents in the St Vincent's school commuity were invited to respond to a survey. The results were overwhelmingly positive. A committee considered the outcomes of the survey, so that we could celebrate successes and identify ways forward.  The survey provided our community with the opportunity to give examples of what parents and carers would find helpful, what the school can do to support them and help us understand what is important to our families.
