Castle Cove Public School P&C Special Project Survey
Summary
- Survey ran for approx. 5 weeks
- 111 responses
- For the major project, overwhelmingly the community voted for the Outdoor learning & play space.
- For the smaller initiatives, painted asphalt activities and toilet beautification were the most popular. These and other ideas will be considered if there are volunteers willing to assist. So please contact us if you can help! We have a parent interested in starting bush regeneration, but again, if you can also assist please get in touch.
- For interest in extracurricular activities, art, languages (mainly Mandarin) and choir were in high demand. We have shared these findings with the school however they are not in a position to offer these during school hours/using school staff. But we can organise for these to be offered out of school hours. We are pleased to announce Mandarin will be offered from Term 4, 2019 (www.mandarinstars.com.au). If there is a parent willing to organise art lessons or a choir please contact us, and the P&C are willing to assist where we can. We have a parent interested in starting some art workshops but would appreciate extra help, so please get in touch.
