25.01.2022 2018 STUDENT ATTITUDE TO SCHOOL SURVEY. WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO TELL US WHAT THEY THINK! We value student voice as a means to improving student engagement, wellbeing and quality instruction and are conducting a survey to find out what your child thinks of our school. The Attitudes to School Survey is an annual student survey offered by the Department of Education and Training to assist schools in gaining an understanding of students' perceptions and experience of school. Our... school will use the survey results to plan programs and activities to improve your child's schooling experience. Students in Years 4, 5 and 6 at our school will participate in the survey. Your child will complete the survey online during school hours using a purpose built secure online survey tool. It is important to note that we are not in any way testing your child. Your child has the right to refuse or withdraw from the survey at any point before, during, or after completion of the survey. Your child will be provided with a unique login to complete the survey. The student login is an assigned identifier that may be used to link data for statistical and research purposes only. All responses to the survey are kept anonymous in the response file. Personal identification data will not be recorded in the survey response file. This ensures that the confidentiality of your child’s responses is protected at all times. This year the Attitudes to School survey will be conducted at our school between Thursday the 3rd of May and Friday the 11th of May. The survey only takes 20 minutes to complete and occurs during your child's class time. If you would like more information, please visit: http://www.education.vic.gov.au//Pages/performsurveyat.aspx
