TELL THEM FROM ME

We greatly value feedback from our community to help us provide the best possible environment for our students to learn and grow. To help us do this, we will be participating in the Tell Them From Me (TTFM) online survey for students, parents and carers.

The survey will provide us with valuable insights into what our school community thinks about school life including how engaged students are with school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. Schools in Australia and around the world use the Tell Them From Me survey to help them improve.

On 24th May, our Years 7-12 students will be given the opportunity and time to participate in this survey during regular school hours. Students will be given a random username and password to access and complete the survey online. Students’ names cannot be linked to their responses which allows it to be completely anonymous. Results will show all student scores combined together – it is not possible to single out individual students in the results.

Parents and carers will be able to participate between the dates of 20 May and 7 June 2024 using a link we will send to you separately in coming weeks. It is entirely voluntary as to whether you participate in completing the survey.

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. The survey measures include wellbeing, physical health, and behaviours and attitudes linked to student success. The survey also allows participants to give their thoughts and feedback in one open-ended question - please note that these responses are read by principals only. Any detailed information in the open text box could potentially identify the respondent so generic comments are recommended.

Tuesday 14th May saw us celebrate our wonderful support staff for World Support Staff Day. As a College we wanted to take a moment to extend our sincerest appreciation for the incredible work of our Support Staff. It was heartwarming to see our support staff highlighted and honoured with a morning tea last week, celebrating the invaluable contributions they make every day and why our support staff are so essential to our success. We thank them for the dedication and hard work that our support staff demonstrate consistently.
