Section C — Additional Information
PARENT, STUDENT AND TEACHER SATISFACTION
Staff SatisfactionStaff satisfaction has been measured using three sets of data.
• The Staff Attendance Records• The Staff interviews / Staff Satisfactory Survey• Exit Interviews with Staff.
Using this collection of data, the College is able to determine that the Staff Satisfaction level continues to remain overall at a very high level. The Staff who are not teaching at DCC in 2016, have left DCC because of:
• Gaining higher positions of responsibility at other schools• Career change• Family circumstance change• Transitioning to retirement
Each staff member indicated that they would have loved to continue to work at the College if their personal circumstances had allowed it.
Parent SatisfactionIn 2017 a selection of families were approached to provide feedback on their level of satisfaction. All families approached were happy to respond.
95% of the parents surveyed indicated that they were either extremely pleased or very pleased that they have decided to send their child(ren) to Donvale Christian College.
The overall themes associated with this high level of satisfaction included:
• The sense of Christian community• Confidence in staff’s ability to teach effectively and in line with the College’s educational philosophy• Expertise in Pastoral Care• Widespread opportunity for parents to be involved
The College’s records also indicate that 97% of new families come because of a direct referral from an existing family, 3% via the Web page and less than 1% from advertising. Despite this being the first point in contact, it is supplemented with a later contact with an existing family.
We have also taken the opportunity to survey parents with a view to gathering feedback on our programs offered. This has helped the senior leadership of the school in its planning for subjects and class arrangements for the next calendar year.
Student SatisfactionIn 2017 we conducted several student surveys, using a combination of class and pastoral groupings, to determine student views about the College and the learning environment. These consisted mainly of students from Years 7 to 12.
Each survey consisted of free ranging discussion around the following questions:
• What are your expectations of the school?• What is your expectation of teachers, what do you want/need from them? • How well do teachers at this school know their craft?• How satisfied are you with the school?
Overall, the answers received indicated a very high level of student satisfaction.
