    College Feedback Project Opens Friday 24 July

    At the end of Term Two, an email was sent to parents and caregivers about the Parent and Student Feedback Survey, which MMG Education is conducting as part of the College's continuous improvement process.

    Students completed the survey during their timetabled Period One class on Friday 24 July. Students who were absent during this time can complete the survey by following the instructions outlined in an email they received from MMG Education.  All students are encouraged to complete it as soon as possible.

    Parents and caregivers will receive an email from MMG Education after school on Friday 24 July, inviting them to participate in the survey. The questionnaire is open for a two-week period.

    Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your feedback. Your participation is greatly appreciated and will contribute to the College's ongoing improvement.

Staff members will be at each bus stop wearing high-vis vests, and a staff member will also be on board the bus to assist guests on and off the bus.

    Bus Times:

    Pick-up - Between 10:00am - 10:45am from listed pick-up points on Hull and Albert Roads, Beecroft.Drop-off - Between 12.25pm – 1.00pm departing from the Hall Courtyard. A staff member will escort guests to the bus. The bus will drop off at the listed back bus stops on Hull and Albert Roads, Beecroft.
