Hello Parents/Guardians,

Thank you to each one who has provided positive encouragement and feedback to us this school year. We know it helps potential parents and students feel comfortable coming here when they see that others have had positive experiences here.

We’re working on developing video and written testimonials on our webpage (www.peacechristianschool.ca) and would love to have your participation. We plan to have both parents and students featured. If you are willing to participate in the video testimonials please call the school @ 250-788-2044 and ask for Mrs. Siller.

Here is a sample of the questions.

1. What was your main concern before sending your children to PCS?
2. Did it come true, and if not, what happened instead?
3. What, specifically, is your favourite part of PCS?
4. If you were to recommend us to your best friend, what would you say?
5. Is there anything you’d like to add?

For written testimonials, the link is https://goo.gl/forms/e2gvTLgQOk0F6dl12 This is not an anonymous questionnaire. We are asking to state parent’s names with each testimonial, on our website, as to provide more authenticity.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
