Citywide Pupil Council School Lunches Survey – Extension to closing date:
The closing date for the Citywide Pupil Council (CWPC) school lunch online survey has been extended to
Wednesday November 15th 2017.
You do not need to eat school lunches to take part in this survey as any subsequent questions are based on
your previous responses.
This is a great opportunity to have your say with respect to school lunch facilities since the citywide results will
be passed on to Tayside Contracts as part of their regular review of facilities.
To date more Harris Academy pupils than any other school have taken part in the survey. Currently most of
the replies come from S3-6. As a consequence the CWPC are especially keen to hear from junior pupils.
The link is as follows:
