Pymble Wise Phone Survey

Thank you to the parents who have already contributed to the Phones Research survey. We appreciate the time given to help us understand more from the perspective of parents. Please follow this link to the survey. The survey is open until Wednesday 26 February to allow more parents to share their experiences and give feedback.

Early responses are helping us to understand students’ phone and social media use, and issues parents may be experiencing. Did you know, according to data so far:

• parents mostly get a phone for their daughter to “communicate with her” and “track her movements”;
• the main reason parents opted-in for a Wise Phone is to “support the College’s direction” and “limit their daughter’s use of social media”; and
• parents report their daughters with smart phones are spending longer hours on these phones than students with a Wise Phone, both during school days and at weekends?

More information is found in the Participant Information Sheet, attached. This information is also located in the introduction to the survey. All responses are anonymous and the survey will take five to ten minutes to complete. If you have more than one Pymble daughter in Years 4 to 8, we invite you to consider completing a different survey for each girl.
