MDI Highlights 2025 (Middle Years Development Instrument)

By Ms. Sarah Fast, Assistant Head of Junior School, and Ms. Krista Scaligine, Junior School Counsellor 

In February, students in grade 4 and 6 completed the MDI (Middle Years Development Instrument). This anonymous questionnaire gives students the opportunity to self-report about their thoughts, feelings and experiences in the school and the community. The data is reported back to the school as a grade cohort and is not individualized.

Here are some highlights noted from the data collected from WPGA:
  • Students feel more connected and valued at our school than other districts.
  • Over half of our students in grade 6 have never posted on social media.
  • 76% of grade 4 students and 89% of grade 6 students eat dinner five or more times a week with adults in their family.
  • Students consistently believe that they can make a difference in the world and make it a better place.
Thank you, families, for all the work you do to make this happen!

Honoured to learn and play on these beautiful lands, we endeavour to be a leader in Indigenous education.
