What feedback have you got from the students who are currently in Year 7 and 8 at Mordialloc College?
We have just received outstanding results in the 2008 Attitudes to School Survey. This is an annual survey carried out by the Education Department and undertaken by every government secondary school student in Victoria. By responding positively to questions such as, ‘My teachers really want to help me learn’, ‘My teachers help me to do my best’, ‘This school is preparing students well for their future’, I feel positive/cheerful/relaxed/happy/energised at school’, ‘Doing well in school is very important to me’ and ‘I get on really well with most of my classmates’ the students showed how much they are enjoying the Learning Centres. It was also very pleasing to see how safe and secure the students said they felt at Mordialloc. Their responses to questions designed to determine the extent they felt safe and confident were extremely positive. The students also reported that their learning was rarely interfered with because of poor behaviour by other students.
