School Satisfaction Surveys
Posted on 21 Aug 2018
On Tuesday 14 August an invitation was emailed to families to complete a satisfaction survey for each child at the school.
The survey results will contribute to our school improvement processes and will also be used in public interest research projects and longitudinal studies aimed at improving the quality of services in the ACT. The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. No personal information will be provided to any school or college.
The survey includes questions on general satisfaction together with the school climate module, which covers relationships with other students and teachers, connection to the school, well-being, leadership and professional development. This module is part of a longitudinal study being conducted in partnership with researchers at the Australian National University.
The Australian National University and the Education Directorate will handle all personal information in accordance with the Territory Privacy Principles set out in the Information Privacy Act 2014. Details about how personal information is stored and used are available in our Privacy Policy (available at http://education.act.gov.au).
