Educational Positioning System Survey Results      

By Sharon Keen | Posted: Tuesday October 13, 2015

The above words are those used most frequently to describe Casebrook.                     

This survey was completed by members of our community, staff and students late in Term 3 2015. The purpose is to look at current structures and systems in the school, assess their effectiveness and to see how well they are understood by the different groups. The information gathered can be used to direct future developments.
