- Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Survey
Safe, Caring & Inclusive School surveys are important tools which help schools assess the current culture within a school. The survey captures perceptions from students, parents, and staff relating to issues such as character development, equity and inclusion, safe schools, and variables that contribute to a healthy school environment.
Please take the opportunity to complete the Safe Caring and Inclusive Schools Survey, which can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SCISParent_Guardian.
The survey is open until May 13.

I hope that you have your socks on tight because they will pop off when you hear this! SANDHILLS has just reached its biggest achievement yet. We have raised $10 000 to build a school in KENYA. Those children are going to be so HAPPY!!!
Say Cheese!! Sibling picture day is coming up. Do you have a sister or brother that goes to Sandhills Public School? Well if you do, bring your form on picture day.
Hope you still remember the joke contest! Don’t worry, there’s still time to sign up because there’s one every week. I’ve put a sign up on the right-hand side of the library. Make sure you listen to the announcements. Well, that’s all I have to say. Stay tuned for more news!!!
