The Australian Parent Council's 2019 survey
APC's 2019 national survey is designed to get parent feedback on the way that schools and teachers communicate, share information and partner with parents. It is a great opportunity for parents of school age children to have a say and help improve the way parents and schools work together.
Federal Minister Dan Tehan has backed the survey: ‘Parents know their children better than anyone so their feedback is vitally important to help further improve our education system. Our Government wants to hear from parents about their experiences. 'The survey is available via www.surveymonkey.com/r/QFW999L, is open to all parents of school age children in Australia and takes just a few minutes to complete. It's closes at the end of November.
