Boneo Buzz: 14th May

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The 2021 Student Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS), is now available for students in Years 4 to 6 to participate in. 

We value student voice as a means to improving student engagement, wellbeing and quality instruction and are conducting this survey to find out what our students think of our school.

The AtoSS is an annual student survey offered by the Department of Education and Training to assist our school to gain an understanding of students’ perceptions and experience of school. Students will be asked about their thoughts and feelings in relation to their school, their learning, peer relationships, bullying and life in general.

There are also some questions about student health and wellbeing. Understanding health and wellbeing needs is important to support students to learn and thrive at school. The Department is providing this addition to the core survey to allow us to capture this information to support students. Students will be asked about resilience, community connections, mental health and physical activity.

In our experience, young people enjoy having their say. We have been running this survey for nearly 20 years and it has been invaluable in helping schools understand student views. Our school will use the survey results to plan programs and activities to improve our young people’s schooling experience.

Parents are welcome to contact the school for a copy of the survey questions. When results are made available by DET, I will share these with our community.
