2023 Prep Bags - Evaluation Survey (Prep Families)

Children’s storybooks

At the beginning of the school year, the Department of Education provided every Prep student attending a Victorian Government school with a red Prep bag. The items inside are designed to help Prep students and families thrive from the start of Term 1.

This survey takes 5-10 minutes to complete.

Your feedback helps us learn what you liked and how we can improve future Prep bags.

This year’s Prep bags included 5 children’s books to help build literacy skills and encourage a love of reading:

· Bedtime Sorted! by Jimmy Rees
· Stellarphant by James Foley
· The Biscuit Maker by Sue Lawson
