Dear families,

Next Friday, 19^th September, we have been invited by the Swansea Motor Inn to take part in “Talk Like a Pirate Day”. The Swansea Motor Inn is sponsoring this event and will host multiple activities, including a BBQ lunch and scavenger hunt.

Students from Kinder – Grade 6 will have the opportunity to take part in two contests, the best dressed pirate and the best pirate voice. There will be four prizes awarded for this competition, with Junior and Senior categories.

The event will run from approximately 12:30 to 2:30 at the Swansea Motor Inn. This is an opportunity for students to be involved in our local community and is a fun way to finish the term. Students will walk to the Motor Inn with their class teacher.

We do not wish for this to be any extra time or expense for families. If you do have a pirate costume at home for your child, students are invited to wear it to school. We will also have pirate gear available at school for students to wear, and students will be able to design their own hats.

As this is a minor excursion, we do not require any paperwork from you. If you do not wish for your child to participate in this activity, please contact us through the school office.

Dear families, 

The 2025 School Satisfaction Survey is open!

Every year the Department for Education, Children and Young People conducts a School Satisfaction Survey to find out what your child(ren)'s school does well and where it may improve. Your feedback is very important to help us inform our school improvement planning and decision-making.

If you have not had the opportunity to complete the survey about Swansea Primary School yet, it is open until Friday 19 September 2025 and should take about 5 minutes of your time.

Each family should nominate one person to fill in this survey for their child(ren).

Take the online survey by clicking this Link, or pasting it in your browser:

The survey is carried out on a secure website and all responses are anonymous and confidential. All families in this school received the same survey link and no identifying information is collected. A summary of the survey results will be provided to schools. Responses from individuals or small groups will NOT be disclosed to any Department for Education, Children and Young People staff.

Please contact your school if you require any assistance.

Thank you for taking the time to fill in this survey.
