  11. Feedback / suggestions

  12. As a board you’ll need to decide how to proceed with the Diocese. However, we mentioned in the survey that we’d share insight – this is SO important to as it • builds trust between Board and community • encourages Engagement with school and fundraising activities • demonstrates transparency (the school community will want to know how their thoughts compare with others) • assures our school community that they have been heard, this hasn’t been a box ticking exercise Next steps “That a decision is made promptly as it becomes frustrating for parents to continually support fundraising initiatives but not see the funds being invested into the school”
