Community Survey Results - October 2009

Dear Parents,

The Survey of the School Community was conducted last month to gain valuable insights of the school’s parent community perception of the International School. I very much appreciate those who took the time to provide their valuable input by taking part in the survey which was conducted as part of my aim to gain input from the parent community to assist in the development and direction of the Schools Continuous Improvement Plan.

As a Head, I am very proud of the positive results that highlight our quality academic program, particularly in the areas of:

  • Parental involvement
  • Staff quality
  • Policies and processes
  • Communication
  • Academic standards
  • Curriculum

Of particular note wa...

Parental involvement 86%

Parental understanding of school policy 84%

Communication with and reporting to parents and availability of staff 90%

Welcoming nature of the School community (its staff, students, parents and grounds) 94%

Literacy and Numeracy Standards and program 88%

Pastoral Care of students 96%

Safe, clean and disciplined environment 97%

We will endeavour to focus on: Parental knowledge and understanding of the curriculum area of Mathematics Expanding and revising the Sports, after school activities and Languages program.

I greatly appreciate the PTA, School Board of Trustees and School Council support and vision towards the future.
