Upcoming student survey for Collective Ed. Grades 8, 10 and 12

The Beacon Foundation is working with our school on a project called Collective Ed.  They have asked the University of Tasmania to evaluate the project.  One step is a survey for all students in Year 8, 10 and 12 in the six schools that are part of Collective Ed in Tasmania. Port Dalrymple students will undertake the survey in week 8 beginning Monday 7 June 2021.

The survey provides an opportunity for students in these year groups to reflect on learning experiences inside and outside school, and their plans for the future.  The survey is completely anonymous, and will be completed in class.

The researchers from the University of Tasmania will write a short report with the anonymous findings from the student survey for our school so that we can learn about the opinions of our students. The report won’t be about the answers of any single student, but about results from all the answers taken together.

The survey is completely voluntary. If you have a child in Year 8, 10 or 12, you will receive a letter with more information. If you are interested in finding out more about the survey, even if your child is not in Year 8, 10 or 12, you are welcome to contact Sherridan Emery on sherridan.emery@utas.edu.au.

The survey is completely voluntary.  If you prefer your child not to take part, you can let us know by:

• emailing Sherridan on sherridan.emery@utas.edu.au or calling the Peter Underwood Centre on (03) 6226 5735
• before Monday 31 May and
• letting us know the name of your child, their year and the name of their school.

Even if you’re happy for your child to do the survey, they can still decide not to complete the survey when they receive it in class.
