The Resilience Project - Resilient Youth Survey
Resilience and wellbeing are key factors in ensuring a happy and fulfilling future for our young people.
We are proud to partner with The Resilience Project to assist our school community in their wellbeing journey. In order to gain an accurate understanding of our students’ strengths and challenges, we will be conducting the Student Resilience Survey developed by Resilient Youth Australia and the University of South Australia. In recent years, more than 900,000 young people aged between 7–19 have been surveyed, across 3,500 schools globally. The results have been used to make informed and practical decisions about targeted resilience initiatives.
The Student Resilience Survey will be administered to students online during Learning Mentor class on Tuesday 19 May. It typically takes 30–50 minutes to complete the survey, and participation is voluntary and anonymous.
The data from the survey will be reported in aggregate descriptive form only, by year level and gender, and no individual student responses can be identified.
The results will provide valuable information to help us create and maintain the best culture of wellbeing and resilience that we can.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s participation in this survey, please contact Shari Gotch - sgotch@sje.vic.edu.au.
We thank you for your support.
Year 8 Cyber Safety / Vaping Education Sessions
Our Year 8 students participated in Education Sessions facilitated by Echuca Regional Health and the Federal Police on Thursday 14 May.
Echuca Regional Health presented an education session on the harms of vaping, laws and legislation and building confidence to say no while the Australian Federal Police facilitated the campaign ThinkUKnow. The evidence- based education program is delivered nationally to prevent online child sexual exploitation and encourages help-seeking behaviour.
McCrindle Survey
At St Joseph’s College we greatly appreciate our community. Your experiences and insights are incredibly valuable to us, and we’re eager to hear from you.
We’ve partnered with the research agency McCrindle to gather your honest feedback on your child’s educational journey with us. Every piece of feedback will help us make informed decisions that truly reflect the needs and desires of our community.
The survey takes just 10 minutes and can be completed on any device, making it easy to share your perspective wherever you are.
Rest assured, the survey is anonymous, and only aggregated data will be shared with the school. By taking part, you’re helping to shape the future of St Joseph’s College and ensuring that we continue to grow and improve for our students.
Thank you for being an essential part of our community. We truly appreciate your time and thoughtful input.
