The examples below will help you to interpret the charts in this report. The first set of charts describes results presented as percentages, and the second results that are reported on a 10-point scale.

The bar charts show the results by year level for any years where at least 5 students participated. These are compared with NSW Govt Norms, which are based on the results from all students who participated in the TTFM DoE survey in Term 1, 2015 at the year levels found in this school. Where a measure was not included in the 2015 survey, the NSW Govt Norms are based on data from Term 1 of the first year the measure was included. For details on the survey see www.thelearningbar.com.

This report provides results based on data from 484 students in this school that participated in the survey between 25 Aug 2017 and 19 Sep 2017. The number of students by year level is shown in the chart at right.

The TTFM Student Survey is designed to provide you with insight to guide your school planning and help you to identify school improvement initiatives. The One-Click Report highlights your results on survey measures that are based on the most recent research on school and classroom effectiveness.
