A key goal within the College’s School Improvement Plan is to ‘Build a performance and development culture’. Students will shortly contribute to a student voice data source through the Pivot Student Surveys.

The student surveys are intended to provide teachers with constructive and actionable research-based feedback on the next steps to improve the classroom environment that can be taken as a direct result of student responses. This models to students that we all have areas of strength and areas to improve upon.

Additionally, the surveys provide an opportunity to further enhance teaching practice, directly linking to standards within the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.

Student survey responses are anonymous and class results are confidential and only accessible to the class teacher. Aggregated data is also collected for the whole school, each learning area and each year level to further analyse and action improvements that can be made to the teaching and learning program at the College.
