Wellbeing Data

Findings

Strong relational culture

• On virtually every item that responds to collegial trust, feeling safe to seek help, or a sense of belonging, the combined “Agree/Strongly Agree” bars occupy most of the graph, with “Disagree” responses almost non-existent. These consistently positive proportions tell us the staffroom relationships and day-to-day interpersonal climate are a core strength of the school. 

Workload is the pinch-point

• The only graphs in which the neutral and negative slices start to rival the positives relate to statements about workload manageability, time for professional learning, and work–life balance. Although the majority still lean positive, there is a clear bulge in the “Neutral/Disagree” bands that does not appear in other domains. 

Findings

Belonging is a common thread 

• Roughly three-quarters of students say they feel they belong, feel safe, and see their culture valued (“Mostly Yes/Always”), with minimal outright negatives.

Trusted Adult

• One in four students are unsure or negative about having an adult to talk to. Some tamariki still feel they must cope alone. We could look at making sure our pastoral systems are equally visible to all. 

• It would be beneficial to repeat the survey next term to clarify whether the responses stemmed from a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the question.

What Makes PES Great?

• Repeated praise for teachers and friends as “what makes Pt England great”; improvement wishes cluster around better lunches, more sports/facilities and more cultural/language events.
