PS I'm having difficulty sending the attachment, so if it isn't with this notice... it's coming! I'm also having issues with 'cyber gremlins'... they're messing with the format! However, I'm sure that you'll be able to identify your name and any errors. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Good morning families, many of you completed the survey forms in order for us to gauge an idea of how the wider community felt about the current school logo and uniform. Thank you for your feedback, there was a very mixed response. We realise not everyone had the opportunity to complete the survey and we have had several new families join us and we have expanded the scope of the survey. 

The current logo was introduced with the uniform around 2016. Last year the School and Community donated funds to revamp our dated and well loved sports uniform which has reached the end of its life.

This gives us the opportunity to survey our school community as to whether or not we should consider refreshing our current 'WW'. Please note, this is not a confirmed change but an opportunity to explore other designs. If you have filled out a paper form at interviews in term 1 it is ok to complete this survey. It will however only accept one response from an email address and these are anonymous. There are a series of graphic designs produced by Nettl, a design company. Chris McLean, a former pupil in the early eighties approached us last year as we explored various ways to promote our school. There are a selection of designs created by locals included for consideration also.

As per the paper survey, we want to canvas the thoughts also around our current school uniform so we would really appreciate your feedback around this as well. This does not mean anything is actually changing, as community consultation is just that, a gathering of thoughts and ideas.

We thank you for taking the time to give your feedback and look forwarded to receiving your responses. Please use the link below.
