Resilient Youth Survey
Parents, Please Help
Over the next two weeks, Wantirna College will once again be participating in the Resilient Youth Survey as part of our ongoing commitment to student wellbeing. Last year, we had a good response from parents. This year we are asking one parent from each household to complete the parent version of the survey HEREby Sun 4 October - use Passcode 231 089.
What is the Resilient Youth Survey?
The Resilient Youth Survey is a trusted, evidence-based wellbeing survey used by thousands of Australian schools, developed by researchers at the University of Adelaide. It takes around 30 minutes to complete and uses age-appropriate language.
What does it measure?
The survey looks at six key mental health indicators — life satisfaction, hope, coping, anxiety, depression, and connection to nature — along with nine resilience domains, including positive relationships, social skills, self-understanding, safety, healthy mind and body, engagement in learning, attitude, values, and contribution.
Who will complete it?
All students in Years 7 to 11 will be invited to complete the survey online, during class time and under teacher supervision.
Is it confidential?
Yes. The survey is completely anonymous — no individually identifying student data is collected or shared. Results are reported to the school only at a cohort/group level, and will help our Student Services and Wellbeing Team better understand the needs of our student population so we can target support and programs where they're needed most.
Why are we doing this?
The insights we gain will help us benchmark our students' wellbeing against national norms and strengthen the support, programs, and resources we offer across the College.
