Dear Parents and Carers,
We are seeking your input to help us determine whether your family or school would benefit from improved access to a Before and After School Care service either onsite or nearby to your school for specific purposes.
Since 2019, the Department has been developing solutions to support families to access before and after school care. We are currently undertaking a range of activities to respond to the needs of families and the sector, based on the data and essential feedback we receive.
The Department will consider demand from parents and carers, input from principals and communities, and other considerations and consultations before reaching a final decision.
Next steps
The Schools for Specific Purposes Before and After School Care Survey is open and will close on 7 November 2021 at 8 pm.
The survey should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. If you have more than one child attending a School for Specific Purposes, please submit a separate survey entry for each child.
We recommend completing the survey on a desktop/laptop device for the best user experience.
Complete the survey via the following link: https://surveys.education.nsw.gov.au/s3/Term-4-Parent-Survey-SSPs.
For questions, feedback and support regarding this survey, contact the Before and After School Care team at BASCReform@det.nsw.edu.au or 1300 244 145.
Warm Regards,
Jacqueline Lockyer
Principal
