Parent/Whānau/Caregivers from our Contributing Schools -  Consultation Survey

Kia ora koutou

The Board of Birkdale Intermediate has begun the process of strategic planning and it is important we hear your voice to assist us in planning for the next 2-5 years. Julie Schumacher from The Education Group has been appointed as the advisor to the Board and will guide and support us through the process.

The Board seeks your views as our prospective parents/whānau.  These will be collated and used to guide us in understanding what is important to you when you make decisions to education your children. Your comments will remain anonymous.

This survey is protected by SSL encryption (the same encryption used for credit card transactions). It will take you approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. You are able to edit your responses whilst in the survey. However, once you have exited the survey you will be unable to re-enter it.

We sincerely thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.  Please complete the survey by 3.00 p.m., Wednesday 15th November.
