Tell Them From Me: Parent Survey

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are 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.

We would like to invite you to complete the Tell Them from Me® (TTFM®) Partners in Learning survey.  As we value the role of parents and carers within our school community, we 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 Guardian Angels’ School.

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

The survey is open until Friday 30 May 2025.

Please contact the school via pwynnum@bne.catholic.edu.au if you have any queries.

You can access your survey on your computer or mobile device by using this URL below: 

Remembering the Empty Coolamons Event: Friday 23rd May 2025

National Simultaneous Storytime

Guardian Angels has been registered for The National Simultaneous Story Time Event on 21st May at 12pm.  Students will participate in a range of activities focused on the book. 

The book that has been selected this year is called The Truck Cat. With illustrations by multi-award-winning artist Danny Snell and words by acclaimed new writer Deborah Frenkel, The Truck Cat is the perfect book to inspire kindness and compassion in young children everywhere.

We will look forward to sharing this wonderful story as a school community.

How amazing is 'The Truck Cat' display in our library
