The 2024 parent survey opens mid to late July and closes midnight Sunday 8 September.
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 9 August 2024, 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.
