Strategic Directions 2015 -17

All NSW Public Schools are required to develop a strategic

plan for the next 3 years.

Your opinion/comment is extremely important.

It is vital we know what you think of the school and what

directions the school should be taking. What sort of

education do you want for your child/ren?

If you could please take 10 minutes of your time to

complete the survey we would be very appreciative.

All students who return the survey are invited to a

Christmas picnic at the spider park on Monday afternoon

(1.30 onwards). We will supply Christmas nibbles as well

and best wishes for the festive season, rest up and look

forward to an exciting productive 2015 school year.
