Tell Them From Me - Annual Parent Survey
In the coming weeks, we are inviting students, teachers, and parents to provide feedback on their experience of our school using an online survey. The surveys are an important part of our whole school evaluation and planning process in addition to providing Catholic Education with data on the successes and areas of improvement for their schools.
The survey is designed to be a celebration of teaching and learning at St Thomas More's. Whilst there may be areas of improvement identified, we would hope that parents who are feeling uneasy about any aspect of the school, contact us to discuss these grievances rather than using the anonymity of the survey to damage the reputation of our school.
The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You can access the parent survey on your computer or mobile device here:

Floriade Community
We are pleased to announce that we have been the successful recipient of Floriade’s Community Engagement program providing an opportunity for local Community participation through plantings and activities. Today we picked up 1600 bulbs to be planted in the front gardens of the school with 1600 annuals to be collected at a later date!
It is going to be a significant task planting all these bulbs and annuals but we are sure the effort will pay off come September. Next Thursday the students will be working with their buddies to help plant the bulbs. If you are available to assist from 2pm please let Luke Donnelly know.
