Social and Emotional Wellbeing Survey
In the weeks 8-10 the students from Years 2-6 will be completing a social and emotional wellbeing survey. As part of our school’s ongoing commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for your child, the ACER SEW (Social Emotional Wellbeing) survey will be conducted later in the term.
The survey explores 9 key domains around students’ social and emotional wellbeing.
Feelings and Behaviours (i.e. levels of happiness, self-identity, behaviour and relationships)
Internal Strengths (i.e. self-awareness and self-management of social, emotional, learning and values)
External Strengths (i.e. the impact of positive influences at school, home and in the community.
The information from the survey provides feedback to continue to provide safety and wellbeing of all students within our school.
More information about the survey will be in each units Weekly update this week.
