TELL THEM FROM ME SURVEYS
I am delighted that this term, our school, like many other public schools in the state, will
participate in a Department of Education initiative: the Tell Them From Me student feedback
survey. The survey measures factors that are known to affect academic achievement and
other student outcomes. The focus of the NSW-wide survey is on student wellbeing,
engagement and effective teaching practices.
More information about the survey is available at: http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au
The survey is a great opportunity for our students to provide us with valuable and quick
feedback on what they think about school life, how engaged they are with school and the
different ways that teachers interact with them. More than 6,300 schools in Australia and
around the world have used Tell Them From Me to survey 5.4 million students. Capturing
the voices of our students will help improve how we do things at our school.
I want to assure you that the survey is confidential. The survey is conducted online and will
typically take less than 30 minutes to complete. Participating in the survey is entirely
voluntary.
A consent form and FAQs for parents/carers about the survey was sent home with students
today. If you do not want your child or children to participate, please return the form to
school by Monday 9 September. Copies of the form and FAQs are available from:
http://surveys.cese.nsw.gov.au/information-for-parents.
Parents are asked to complete a survey online at the following link. The TTFM survey
window is now open and will be until Friday 25 October 2019.

HIGH ACHIEVERS
EAGLE AWARDS Glossodia PS uses Well Done cards as a way of promoting and rewarding the behaviour and attitudes that we believe to be important. When a student has collected five ‘Well Done Cards’ they are traded for an ‘Eagle Card’. Five of these cards are can in turn be traded to earn our ‘Eagle Ribbon’ acknowledging positive behaviour over a considerable period of time. Once a student has received 5 ‘Eagle Ribbons’ they can trade them for an ‘Eagle Badge’.
