Student Led Conferences Survey

We are interested in receiving your feedback on the reporting to parents process at the end of last term. This year was the first time that we introduced student-led conferences. In talking with parents, many welcomed this new initiative and whilst some welcomed it, they felt it could be made better with some fine tuning.

If you have more than one child at Te Hihi there is the option of completing one survey for all of your children or completing a survey for each child. To complete one for each child, after completing the first one, return to the email and click the link again.

The responses to the survey will be collated and used to improve our reporting process. At the end of the survey is the option to put your name to your responses. Please note that this is optional and should you choose to do so your privacy will be assured.

The survey portal will stay open until Friday 30 July.

Thank you.
Kevin Bush
Principal

Please indicate your preference in terms of how the conference was led. I preferred my child leading the conference

I liked my child leading the conference but would have liked an opportunity to speak with my child's teacher after my child had finished talking to us about his/her learning

I didn't like my child leading the conference and would prefer it to be teacher-led in the future.

4. Please indicate whether you found the conference useful in terms of what your child could tell you about their learning.

Please indicate whether you found the conference useful in terms of what your child could tell you about their learning. I was impressed with what my child could tell me about his/her learning as we don't often talk about this at home or to the same depth.

Although I was impressed with what my child could tell me about his/her learning there was not a lot of new information as my child had explained most of this to me during the course of the year.

5. We have been informed that our reports meet the requirement for reporting under the new National Standards framework. Please tell us what you thought of your child's report in terms of being written in plain English and providing you with useful information about what your child can do and what he/she needs to work on in the future.

Please select all those statements that reflect how you feel. Unselected items will be read as areas you feel we need to improve.
