The wellbeing of all students at MHPS is important to us.  When students feel safe, supported and connected, they are more likely to engage positively in their learning. 

Students in Year 4 - 12 will be taking part in the DECYP Student Wellbeing and Engagement Survey. The survey will help DECYP and individual schools to gain a clearer understanding of our students' current wellbeing, as well as identify opportunities to enhance the support we provide. 

The survey gives students in Years 4 to 12 an opportunity to share their thoughts on their wellbeing and engagement with school.  The more students who participate, the clearer our understanding will be of how they're feeling and what support they may need. 

Students will be asked about a range of topics under the six Wellbeing domains: Healthy, Valued, Loved and Safe, Material Basics, Learning, Participating, and Positive Sense of Identity and Culture.

The details for the survey are:

When: The week beginning 25 August, 2025

Who: Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 students

What do I need to do?: You and your child don’t need to do anything. The survey will be done in class time and will not require your child to prepare in any way.  All responses are confidential and individual students cannot be identified in the results. Participation is voluntary.

A letter with more information has been sent home with all Year 4, 5 and 6 students, including Answers for Parents, and a form to sign and return to the school if you do not want your child to participate in the survey.   

Thank you for supporting us to ensure that all our learners are known, safe, well and learning.
