The 2025 parent survey is now open and closes midnight Sunday 7 September 2025.
We encourage you to complete the survey as we want your views on our school and the education system. It takes less than 10 minutes.
The survey is coordinated by the Department for Education.
How to participate
During the survey window you will receive a unique survey link via email or SMS from the Parent Survey team.
If you have not received an email or SMS with your unique survey link by Friday 15 August 2025, please check your spam or junk email folders. Otherwise, please contact education.ParentSurvey@sa.gov.au and include our school’s name in your email. A new survey link will then be sent to you.
Your answers will not identify you or your child. Only collated feedback will be provided to our school.
How your feedback will be used
Your feedback will help us understand:
- what we’re doing well
- where we can improve
- what’s important to you.
We’ll use the information collected to inform school improvement planning and activities at the school.
The department may also use your feedback to inform and evaluate the Parent Engagement Strategy and other key initiatives to improve education in South Australia.

Please find below flyers for two ‘Who’s in Charge?’ courses. One course will be at the Enfield Library and the other at the Port Adelaide Library.
‘Who is In Charge?’ is a supportive and empowering 8-week group program designed for parents and carers of young people aged 8-18 who are experiencing challenges with control, violence, or defiance. This free course offers a safe space for parents and carers to share experiences, reduce feelings of guilt and shame, and learn effective strategies for managing challenging behaviours.
Participants will explore various aspects of parenting, including understanding power dynamics in relationships and coping with stress. The program also focuses on enhancing safety and well-being for both parents and their children and will provide valuable insights and practical tools to navigate the complexities of parenting in a supportive and understanding environment.
This project is jointly funded by Centacare Catholic Family Services and Department of Social Services.
