There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknownsthere are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns.There are things we don't know we don't know. Source: http://benjaminday.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/donald-rumsfeld.jpgZhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.comKnown knowns we wanted to check that what we thought we knew was actually the caseFor eg

We also wanted to find out about some thingsFor eg

And we also were looking for unexpected feedbacvkEg Comments, anf the open-ended last question33Thank you!1. Approx. two-thirds of our families responded2. One-fifth responded to the Mandarin survey3. Overall the survey worked well5. Positive and constructive feedback6. Annual event, but not the same each year7. What weve found out

Zhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.com2. Of course we have combined the English and Mandarin results3. Some questions needed an N/A and didnt have one eg After-school Q for EYP parents5. We have some areas of our operations we can be pleased about, and some others where we have have a clear message of concern form parents. We need to look into these through filtering responses and, of course, once we have some certainty, look at addressing probllems6. We really could spend hours poring over the results, cross matching responses and so forth. Some questions will be of more interest to us than you such as how long students expect to stay. Some are for future use like those about Computers. For the next 10 mins or so I will look at what I consider will be of interest to you34The things that are important when choosing an international schoolThere were 4 choices Very important, Quite important, Somewhat important and Not important

When combining Very important and Quite Important for any one choice:All choices were over 50%English as language of instruction 93%Culturally diverse 80%IB Programmes 76%*IGCSE was well over 50%

Facility/Capital development plans 89%

Staffing and structure for both PYP & MYP over three-quarters

Curriculum and approach to education for both programmes around 70%

IGCSE and DP around 50%Zhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.comEYP learning environment and curriculumMost parents are happy with the: learning environment (77% - Strongly agree or Agree), and curriculum (67% - Strongly agree or Agree)

However there is cause for us to look further into this.Zhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.comThe PYPOver 80% feel they know enough about the PYP Curriculum.

Well over 80% are at least satisfied with the English literacy program.

Just over 50% were satisfied with the Numeracy program.

Zhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.comThe MYPAlmost 80% feel they know enough about the MYP.

Three-quarters are at least satisfied with the amount of communication they receive about their son or daughters subjects and progress.Few parents strongly agreed with the statements about communication, so we need to look further into this

Homework most agreed it was about right, but a third thought it was less than expected.

Zhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.comAfter-school activities programOver 70% are satisfied with the program offered this year.Comments reflected a desire for more variety, but also an understanding that despite limitations the program is growing

Around three-quarters said yes to a year-long, once-per-week program.

Around three-quarters said yes to paying more for this if required.Zhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.comParents40

Zhuhai International SchoolQiao Island, Tangjia WanZhuhai, Guangdong, Chinawww.zischina.comOf all the questions, unfortunately this was about the most poorly written (I think). Because of the way the options are described Im niot so sure what it tells, but heres what I think.there is reason to be concerned and to inquire further.42Improvements you would like to seeFacilities (gym, multi-purpose, performance) (9)Language diversity in the curriculum (7)Concerns about staffing qualifications, commitmentA few things tied here:Inter-school/Competitive sportsExpanded music Library, shade, drama (Secondary)
