Sticking my neck out (Your instructor would be a better advisor):
If you have not yet called finals, report it when calling final.
If you have been cleared to land, report it if there is time.
Otherwise ignore it. Fly the aeroplane.
If something doesn't work (jammed control, can't see through the canopy, or whatever) it all depends on the circumstances. But if your approach was good and you are not shaken, this landing is likely to be as good as the next attempt.
Be ready for the unexpected - brake hoses might be damaged.
After landing fill in the bird strike report.
Oh - I forgot to mention. The report will ask you what type of bird it was. For my money, a truthful 'I was too busy to notice' answer will do. Then you scrape the bits off and send them away with the form!

Reason: Forgot the brake hoses
