Reminder: MMG Education Survey for Year 3, 5, 8 10 and 12 parents

Thank you to the 69 parents who have completed the MMG Education survey, however, we are hoping more parents complete it to help strengthen the accuracy of our data.

The annual MMG Education surveys give us the chance to receive feedback on our programs and approach. It is critical for us to ensure we are listening to our whole community as we build on our strengths and prioritise areas of focus. Whilst doing surveys takes time, we are eager to use the research-informed feedback parents and students provide to develop and improve the College and are very appreciative of each response.

Parents of students in Year 3, 5, 8, 10 and 12 will have last week received their personal email with a link to the MMG ‘Tracking’ survey. This voluntary survey takes about half an hour. It invites parents to share feedback on areas including academics, wellbeing, boarding, co-curricular activities, sport and leadership. If parents are in one of the target year groups and have not received a personal email with a link by Friday 21 March, please let me know.

Students in Years 5, 8, 10 and 12 will receive links to their own MMG ‘Tracking’ survey on the day designated below. Students will be supervised in Compass time to do their survey which are voluntary to complete, but we encourage students to give their valuable feedback. The MMG email each student receives will provide a link to students’ own, confidential questionnaire. Students must not share their link with others.

(Please note, in Term 3, students from Year 6 to 12 will be invited to complete the MMG Wellbeing survey. This survey goes into greater depth than the Tracking survey which also includes some wellbeing questions. Further information will be shared in Term 3).

MMG Tracking survey will be given to students on the following dates:

Year 5: Week 10 Term 1, Friday 4 April, 1.30pm

Year 8 :Week 10 Term 1, Wednesday 2 April, 1.30pm

Year 10: Week 1 Term 2, Friday 2 May, 1.30pm

Year 12: Week 3 Term 2, Thursday 15 May, 1.30pm

If you do not wish your daughter to participate in the MMG survey/s, she can ignore the link sent to her or you are welcome to let me know of your preference in advance.

To ensure confidentiality and encourage frank and full expression of views:

• All responses will be treated by MMG Education in strict confidence.
• No student or parent will be identified to the College by MMG Education on the basis of responses made.
• If points of safety or wellbeing concern are found in the students’ responses, MMG Education staff liaise directly with Deputy Principal – Students, Mr Justin Raymond who will connect the student with appropriate wellbeing support.
• All data collected by MMG Education will remain under its control and archived according to research protocols. The College will not be able to access it.

At the conclusion of the research period, MMG Education compiles final reports for the College. In months ahead, we look forward to sharing insights from the research with the community.

Please remember, that by completing the questionnaires, parents and students are making an invaluable contribution to the future of the College as we strive to ensure that we are providing the best opportunities possible for our students.
