From the Executive Principal,

After a year away working for Central Office on the School Resourcing Review project (first time in 38 years that school funding has been reviewed) it is fantastic to be back at PBC. Travelling the state and working across the regions has reinforced to me that PBC is a great school which has much to be proud of.

The school celebrated NAIDOC week with a special assembly and by participating in community events on Wednesday and Friday. The assembly was well attended by local community and our student performances and messaging to their peers were well received. We were honoured to be the only group invited to perform at a significant cultural celebration late in the week. Congratulations to Trish and all the staff and students who made the week so successful.

Gold Coast South Sports is coming up as is Eisteddfod season. Please check our socials for dates and times.

The School Opinion Survey for 2024 has been released to parents. Please see the article below for your opportunity to have your say about your school.

School Opinion Survey

The suite of School Opinion Surveys is undertaken each year by the Department of Education to obtain opinions about our school from families, school staff and students in target year levels (Years 8 and 11).

The surveys will help identify what we are doing well, and understand where we can improve. The survey invitation will be emailed in the week beginning 15 July and is titled School Opinion Survey for parents and caregivers, 2024.

Each school family will receive one email invitation from the Department of Education to complete the Parent/Caregiver Survey. The survey is anonymous, and the results are reported in ways that an individual’s response cannot be identified by the school.

Parents/Caregivers are encouraged to complete the survey. The survey can be completed via computers, tablets or smart phones with an internet connection. Parents/caregivers who experience difficulties accessing the survey can request a new survey from the School Opinion Survey  team via email schoolopinionsurvey@qed.qld.gov.au.

Can’t find your invitation? If your family has more than one parent/caregiver, check that they haven’t received the invitation and/or check your junk email folder.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mitch Kennedy, Deputy Principal 11/12, at mkenn178@eq.edu.au
