'About you' Survey!

‘About You’ Survey!

What is ‘About You’?

‘About You’ is a survey of Victoria’s young people, conducted by Colmar Brunton on behalf of the Department of Education and Training. The About You survey takes place in Victorian schools and collects essential information on the health, wellbeing, learning and safety of young people aged 10 to 17.

Catholic, Government, and Independent schools with students in years 5, 8 and 11 are being invited to participate in the survey in 2020. The information collected will assist in the development of programs, resources and services aimed at meeting the needs of young Victorians.

Who will participate?

Students from Years 8 and 11 will be invited to participate in the survey from our school.

It is up to you and your child as to whether they take part. The school will send an information letter explaining the background and content of the survey, along with a refusal-of-consent form to your email address. If you do not want your child to be included in the study, you should opt out via the email address that will be supplied. All responses are voluntary and students can opt out at any time.
