BRS School Planning Survey 2023
Thank you to the six parents who participated in our Annual School Planning Survey. All responses have been reviewed, shared with the BRS School Council, and considered in decision-making, with the understanding that the results are not representative of the entire school community.
When asked how parents access information about the School Development Plan (SDP), 50% use our school website, 33% use School Council meetings, and 17% rely on School Messenger.
When asked if the SDP is developed with all students in mind:
- 83% of parents agreed and 17% of parents strongly agreed that the learning of all students is reflected and prioritized in the goals, actions, and resources in the SDP;
- 67% of parents agreed and 33% of parents strongly agreed that their child’s learning can benefit from the goals, actions, and resources in the SDP.
When asked about possible topics for parent information nights, parents indicated interest in sessions regarding developing positive learning behaviours and experiences, conflict resolution / bullying, effective parenting strategies, children’s physical and mental health, the impact of technology (screen time, etc.) and appreciation for the Wellness Series provided by CBE/AHS this year.
When asked about school fees:
- 67% strongly agree and 33% agree that the activities our school provides (e.g., field trips, guest speakers, experts in schools, sporting activities, outdoor education, etc.) are important for my child's learning.
- 33% strongly agree and 67% agree that the school fees are reasonable considering the benefit they provide my child.
When asked to rank activities and services in order of importance, parents indicated:
- Field Trips and Transportation to Field Trips
- Math / Literacy / Social Studies / Science Curricular Enhancement
- Residencies i.e. Inline Skating
- Digital Resources i.e. Mathletics, Raz Kids
