Students in our school have been invited to take part in a wellbeing survey conducted in Term 3 2020.  We are doing this as part of the Department of Education’s 2018 – 2021 Child and Student Wellbeing Strategy.

Young people’s sense of wellbeing is an important part of how they learn at school. The purpose of the survey is to seek students’ views about their wellbeing and their engagement with school.  Students in Years 4 to 12 will be invited to participate in the Student Wellbeing Survey. The information collected will help our school, the Department of Education and our school community to support young people’s wellbeing.

The survey asks students about their social and emotional wellbeing; school relationships and engagement and learning in school; physical health and wellbeing; and after school activities. Students’ answers will be kept confidential – no one (including school staff) will use the results to identify individual students.

Teachers will arrange for students to undertake the survey during class time. Students will be asked if they would like to participate and are able to withdraw at any time. If you do not want your child to participate, please complete the form sent home with students.

An information letter has been sent home with all students on Tuesday 25 August with further information about the survey.
