Our school is conducting the annual Parent / Caregiver / Guardian Opinion Survey offered by the Department of Education and is seeking your feedback. The survey is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement. The survey is optional, but we encourage and appreciate your participation.

Our school will use the survey results toassist in identifying areas for improvement and professional development needs in the school, to target school planning and improvement strategies.

All families are invited to participate in the survey.

Invitation to take part to the Student Climate Survey

The department invites students in years 4 to 12 to take part in our Student Climate Survey.

We will use survey findings to help us understand what students think and know about climate change, and how they prefer to learn about it.

This will help us select teaching and learning resources. It will also ensure student voices shape the way students learn about climate change, its impacts, and potential solutions that will help us meet the challenges of the future.

We are not asking schools to administer the optional survey, but to share it. Local councils and youth organisations are also sharing the survey.

How to share the survey

If you want to promote the survey, you can use this template content to share information through your school communication channels with parents and carers of years 4 to 12 students.

Please note, students who choose to take part will need parent or carer consent to do so.

The survey closes at 5 pm on Friday 20 September 2024.
