Our School Survey
Grades 4-9 will be participating in the Our School Survey starting this week. Please read the letter below for more information.
Dear Parent(s) / Legal Guardian(s) of Grade 4-9 Students:
Re: OurSCHOOL Student Survey Administration
Griffith Woods School will be participating in an online school perception survey for students called the OurSCHOOL Student Survey. This anonymous survey is completely voluntary for all CBE students. Please find the details of the survey implementation below.
CBE’s Education Plan prioritizes student voice and well-being in our decision-making processes. Responses from this survey are used at the system and school level to recognize and improve what is necessary for students to feel safe, welcome, and cared for when at school.
Grades 4-12 students provide feedback on:
- sense of belonging
- positive relationships
- anxiety
- feeling safe at school
- life satisfaction
- general health
- orientation to well-being
- goal-oriented
- self-regulation
- cultural awareness of others
Additionally, Grades 6-12 students provide feedback on:
- depression
- self-esteem
- cultural awareness of self
Demographic questions are also asked on this survey for norming purposes. These are:
Grades 4-12 general
- age, gender, Indigenous status, immigrant status, home language.
Grades 6-12 specific
- grade repeater, reasons for changing schools, disability or medical conditions that limits participation in school activities or learning.
At Griffith Woods our OurSCHOOL Student Survey administration plan is as follows:
Who: Grades 4-9 Students
When: Tuesday October 1 – Friday October 11
Where: In Homeroom Classes
If you have any questions and/or concerns please reach out to me.
Sincerely,
Ryan Molyneux
Assistant Principal

Orange Shirt Day at Griffith Woods
On Thursday Sept. 26, students participated in recognizing and honouring Truth and Reconciliation. Along with other lessons, classes made their commitment to this by writing messages of kindness on orange hearts that were hung on our reconciliation tree outside of the school.
