Attitude to School Survey 2026 May 11th- June 12th

All government schools must participate in AtoSS, providing the opportunity for students from Year 4 to Year 12 to complete the survey. The survey provides data that helps the department understand student perspectives of their school and to improve the schooling experience.

Data collected includes how students feel in relation to their school, their learning, peer relationships, resilience, bullying, health and wellbeing, physical activity, and life in general.

AtoSS is aligned with the department’s Framework for Improving Student Outcomes 2.0. Data from the survey is used to inform school improvement and planning to support student learning and wellbeing.

This the students will participate in the survey between May 11th and June 12th, 2026. It is voluntary. We will send more information to parents of children involved in the survey via Compass.
