Protected Industrial Action at CECG schools 30 June 2022 - u...

27 Jun 2022

Dear Sacred Heart families,

I am writing to provide an update regarding the Protected Industrial Action that is occurring in Catholic and Government schools on Thursday 30 June.

Sacred Heart will be operating with minimal supervision on Thursday. Given that we will only have very few staff onsite, I am requesting that you make alternative arrangements for your children. If you are unable to arrange alternative supervision please contact me directly as soon as possible tomorrow. In the event that too many students wish to attend school and our duty of care cannot be met by the number of staff available, we may need to consider an alternative decision. I will inform you of this by Wednesday afternoon.

Kind regards,
Ms Nicky Trinder
Principal

Parent Survey

17 Jun 2022

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are inviting parents/guardians to provide feedback on their experience of our school using an online survey. The surveys are an important part of our whole school evaluation and planning process.

We would like to invite you to complete the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Partners in Learning survey. As we value the role of parents and carers within our school community we would greatly appreciate your feedback. The information you provide will be used to maintain our commitment to working together in partnership to further improve student learning and wellbeing at Sacred Heart Central School.

The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You are able to access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device by using the URL below:

http://tellthemfromme.com/963fm

The information that is collected informs areas where we can improve or be affirmed. I would hope that if you have a significant issue with the school that you make contact with me to discuss rather than anonymously identify an issue that may require further explanation and a response.

No school is perfect but we would like to strive to be the best we can be because we take the privilege of educating your children very seriously.

All staff and students in Years 4-10 have had the opportunity to complete their respective surveys in the past weeks.

Kind regards,
Ms Nicky Trinder
Principal
