The survey was available from May 24^th to June 3^rd. A total of 85 people responded to the survey and the results are detailed on the following pages.

• In question 1 the respondent had the option of selecting 1 or more answers so that is why the total number of answers to this question is greater than 85.

• For questions 3 and 4 the respondent could only select 1 answer for each question so the total of all answers for each question should come to 85.

• Questions 2 and 5 were optional questions. The responses have been copied directly from the survey and have not been edited in any way.

• Questions 6 and 7 gave the respondent the option to include their name and their e-mail address if they would like to be included in e-mails from the Parents Association. For obvious reasons, this information will not be included in this report:-)

Q5. If you have comments and / or suggestions about the Parents Association, please enter them here.

• I think the Parent Assoc is a very worthwhile association.
• Keep up the good work!
• I think they do a great job, maybe monthly meetings should be rotated. They are always on Wednesdays, which means if this day doesn't suit, you never have the opportunity to attend
• I would like to help more though I work outside the home and have a toddler (in addition to the 2 at school). Thank you for all you do for all of us and our kids and if I can help at all I 'll do my best
• Delighted that the minutes are now on the website as it is extremely difficult to make the monthly meeting and we all like to keep informed of the work going on behind the scenes. Many thanks to all the very hard work done by all on the parents association on behalf of my family.
• A thankless task! Thank you!
• The Parents Association do a fantastic job. Huge amount of time and commitment much appreciated by all the parents,
• Parents of new students should be give guidelines wrt gifts to teachers christmas/summer. Many parents are unclear as to weather or not this is expected of them, is it ok to opt out ! or go solo on a gift or how much should they contribute. I think that this is a very 'grey' area which can cause concern to new parents.
• Thanks for all the work you do on our behalf
