Dear Parents and Carers,
As part of our focus on school effectiveness, St John Paul II CPS will be participating in an
online survey for students – Tell Them From Me (TTFM). The survey will provide us with
valuable feedback on what our students think about school life, how engaged they are with
school and the different ways that teachers interact with them. Schools in Australia and around
the world have used the Tell Them From Me survey to help them improve.
During the two weeks, all students will be given the opportunity and time to participate in this
survey during regular school hours. Students who agree to complete the survey will be given a
random username and password to access and complete the survey online. Students’ names
cannot be linked to their responses which allows it to be completely anonymous. Results will
show all student scores combined together – it is not possible to single out individual students in
the results.
The survey takes approximately 35-40 minutes to complete. The survey measures include such
topics as emotional and social well-being, physical health, and behaviours and attitudes linked to
student success. The survey also allows students to give their thoughts and feedback in
open-ended question responses.
Participation in the survey is entirely voluntary. Your child will not take part if either you or your
child do not wish to. If, during the survey, your child is uncomfortable answering any question,
he/she should leave it blank and move on to the next one. Your child can stop the survey at any
time.
If you do not want your child to take part in the survey, please complete the attached form and
return it to your child's school by Monday 14th March. If you would like more information, please
contact Andy Dalton.

Dear Parents,
Due to Australian Government Sporting Schools funding in term 1, St John Paull II CPS will be
continuing to run out of school sporting activities. The year 4-6 students will have the opportunity
to participate in Netball before school on Thursdays from week 6 to week 9 and on
Monday 4th April in Week 10. These sessions will be run by an accredited netball coach.
These before school sessions are designed for maximum participation and are for students who
have a genuine interest in improving their sporting ability and fitness. Above all, the sessions are
intended to be fun. Students who disrupt these sessions, either through poor behaviour or lack of
participation will be asked to reconsider their attendance at the sessions. Please discuss this with
your child before signing them up.
The before school sessions on Thursdays will be starting in week 6, 17th March 2016, and will
run from 7:30am until 8:15am. If you would like your child to participate in this program, it is for all
4 weeks.
If you would like your child/children to be involved in this program at St John Paul II CPS please
fill in the expression of interest form attached. There are only a very limited number of
participants that can be involved due to number restrictions, so please be prompt with your
response. The list of participants will be published on the school notice board next Tuesday
afternoon.
Kind regards,
Andy Dalton
Physical Education Specialist
