Wellbeing and Engagement Collection Survey 2025
Posted on April 30, 2025
Students in Years 4 - 12, are invited to take part in the Wellbeing and Engagement Collection survey during Week 3 of Term 2.
Purpose of the survey
Young people鈥檚 wellbeing is an important part of how they learn at school. The survey seeks students鈥� views about their wellbeing and engagement with school. Students in Years 4 to 12 across the state will be invited to participate and the information collected will help the education system and broader community support young people鈥檚 health and wellbeing.
What is the survey about?
The survey asks students about their social and emotional wellbeing, school relationships, engagement and learning at school, physical health and wellbeing, and after-school activities.
How will students complete the survey?
Teachers will arrange for Year 7鈥�12 students to complete the survey during Care Group, and for students in Years 4鈥�6 to complete it during class time. Students will be asked if they would like to participate and are free to withdraw at any time.
Students who choose to participate will be emailed a link to the survey and a token before Week 5. Instructions on how to complete the survey will be provided.
If you do not want your child to participate, please contact Student.Services805@schools.sa.edu.au as soon as possible after receiving this letter.
Will students' information be kept confidential?
Students鈥� personal information and identity will remain anonymous. Survey responses are confidential, and no one (including school staff) can use the results to identify individual students. Participating schools with fewer than five students undertaking the survey will not receive a report of results, to further protect student confidentiality.
What will happen if a student is distressed during or after the survey?
The survey includes some questions on topics such as student happiness and bullying. Teachers will inform students that:
- If they find the survey uncomfortable or distressing, they should leave the survey immediately.
- It is not compulsory to complete the survey.
- Students can skip individual survey questions if they wish.
Students who would like to speak to an adult about any concerns they may have will be supported to do so.
