From the Assistant Principal – Systems, Data and Professional Learning

Welcome to Term 2!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter and had the opportunity to spend some time with your family and friends.

Tell Them From Me (TTFM) Survey

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, teachers, 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. 

Between 22 May and 9 June 2023, 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 using a link we will send to you separately in coming weeks.

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.

Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary. You or your child/children need not take part if either of you do not wish to. If during the survey participants feel uncomfortable answering any question, it can be left blank or they can stop the survey completely at any time.

If you do not want your child/children to take part in the survey, please email pfinnerty@parra.catholic.edu.au by Monday 22 May. If you would like more information, please also email pfinnerty@parra.catholic.edu.au

Thank you for your continued support

Patrick Finnerty
