Attitudes to School Survey

WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK!

 

We value student voice as a means to improving student engagement, wellbeing and quality instruction and are conducting a survey to find out what your child thinks of our school. The Attitudes to School Survey is an annual student survey offered by the Department of Education and Training to assist schools in gaining an understanding of students' perceptions and experience of school. Our school will use the survey results to plan programs and activities to improve your child's schooling experience.

 

Students from Year 7 to 12 at our school will participate in the survey. This year the Attitudes to School survey will be conducted between 29th April to 7th June. The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and will occur during Discovery classes. The survey is not a test and your child has the right to refuse or withdraw from the survey. Students will complete the survey online. It is therefore important that all students bring their own device to Discovery in order to complete the survey.

 

Your child will be provided with a unique login, which means that their responses will be private and confidential.

 

The survey results will be reported back to the school towards the end of Term 2 and communicated to our College community through annual reporting. Mr Morgan Gardiner in his role as Student Voice and Agency leader works with our students using this information to improve student engagement and wellbeing. Last year we used the survey results to plan a number of school improvement initiatives as part of our 2019 Annual Implementation Plan and will continue to do this moving forward.
