Smiling Mind is committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your personal information and managing it in an open and transparent way.

If reasonably requested by the School Leader, to support with the implementation of the program, Smiling Mind will disclose to the School Leader the names of school staff who have activated their Unique Access Key, and the status of their engagement with Smiling Mind Primary School Program Digital Products.

 

Webinars / Workshops / Live Practice Sessions 

All Webinars/Workshops provided as part of the Smiling Mind Primary School Program will be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes. The recordings will only be shared with participants of the Smiling Mind Primary School Program. Smiling Mind reserves the right to cancel, postpone or reschedule any Webinar and/or Workshop if, acting reasonably, we consider we are unable to perform our obligations in connection with the Webinar/Workshop.

Evaluation & Evaluation Data 

Smiling Mind uses a range of tools to evaluate the impact of its programs, and to better support educator and student mental health and wellbeing. As part of whole school bundles for this program (not individual licence purchases), you have special access to these valuable measurement tools, to allow you and your school to monitor the impact of the program on the wellbeing of your students, as well as educators. The surveys have been developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER).
Program evaluation, research, and continuous improvement:
  • We’ve partnered with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) to conduct an independent study into how this program might support aspects of student and staff wellbeing. We will share information on participating schools (name, location, demographic data etc.) with ACER to support the evaluation.
  • As part of the program and its evaluation, participating schools have the opportunity to monitor the wellbeing of their students (grades 3 to 6) and staff through short anonymous online surveys.
  • Surveys are administered online through ACER’s secure survey platform (PeoplePulse), but distribution of the survey is managed by the school and ACER staff will not be in direct contact with any student.
  • Usage of these surveys is optional, but we encourage you to take this opportunity to gain insights into the wellbeing of your school community.
  • If you choose to utilise these surveys, you will receive an interactive summary report that allows you to monitor results, including student engagement, connection to school, perseverance, optimism and happiness. This report will also help you to monitor response rates.
