Tell Them From Me Survey - Your Voice Matters!

Early next term we'll be inviting students, teachers and parents to provide feedback on their experience of our school using an online survey. The surveys are an important part of our whole school evaluation and planning process.

In 2024, 193 parents/carers completed the survey. The results of surveys, such as these, help provide direction for future planning and open up areas for fruitful discussion between home and school.

An example of this is, last year you told us that you feel welcomed at the school and an area for improvement was developing a more inclusive school environment. In 2025, our College Pastoral Care Goal is “to build a safe and inclusive environment focusing on positive well being for staff and students” with many initiatives being implemented to support this goal throughout this year. Your voice really does matter and helps to guide our future planning.

We would like to extend an invitation to all parents/carers to complete the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) survey this year. We value the role of parents and carers within our school community and would greatly appreciate your feedback. The information you provide will be used to maintain our commitment to working together in partnership to further improve student learning and wellbeing at St John Paul College.

The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. 

WHEN? Term 2 Week 3 (the survey will remain open for 3 weeks)
HOW? You will be provided with a URL to access the parent survey and complete online

Harmony Day 2025

Last week’s Harmony Day celebrations were a joyful expression of the incredible cultural diversity within our school community. It was wonderful to see so many students enthusiastically volunteering as Harmony Day Ambassadors, taking the lead in planning and running engaging activities and food stalls. Their leadership and pride in their cultural heritage were truly inspiring. The event brought our community together through a shared appreciation of traditions, food, and fun. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who generously donated food - from fried rice and traditional Indian sweets, to Portuguese Arroz Doce and Pasteis de Bacalhau, Pakistani Vegetable Pakora Fritters, Colombian Arepas and Agua Panela, to Scottish shortbread and a delicious variety of sweets. Activities included Henna body art, Aboriginal face painting, soccer matches, and a popular flag guessing competition. It was a memorable celebration of unity in diversity, and we are proud of all who contributed to making it such a success. To top it all off, we raised an impressive $1792.55 for Project Compassion! Well done everyone!
