RISE HOME LEARNING CHALLENGE EVALUATION SURVEY

As part of our continual planning and evaluation process we are undertaking a survey to gain information about the RISE Home Learning Challenge that has been introduced this year. We would like to hear from all parents, regardless of whether your child participated this year or not. The survey is once again online at the link below. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey so we can improve our programmes that we offer our children. We had a quite disappointing result from the last survey and will be following up with all parents who do not complete the survey before the 7th November. If you would prefer to discuss the RISE Home Learning Challenge with other parents and staff we will be holding a meeting in Kakapo class after the Pasifika Proud programme on Tuesday 6th November from 4:45 - 5:15pm. All parents are welcome to attend this meeting instead of completing the survey online. Whanau who do not have an email address with us or who have elected not to receive emails will be given a paper copy. If you would like a paper copy please see Janet.

All whānau who attend the meeting or complete the survey by the 7th November will go in a prize draw! The children of three randomly selected whānau will get SUBWAY for lunch! Awesome!
