Perception Surveys

QLA is committed to helping schools improve student learning and the quality of school life. To assist schools, we has developed surveys to measure perceptions of the quality of school life.

Surveys are available for:

Students (currrently year four and above)
Staff (including administration and support staff)
Parents

By monitoring the perceptions of these stakeholders, schools can:

Evaluate the extent to which students, staff and parents are having a positive experience of the school
Determine the extent to which the school operations are meeting the needs of these key stakeholders
Focus their improvement efforts on those areas of most concern to staff, students and parents
Monitor changes in perception over time.

Students, staff and parents respond to statements on an ageement scale (stongly agree to strongly disagree), designed to explore the following themes.

Student	Staff	Parent
Joy in school work and learning	Joy in school work and learning	Joy in School Work and Learning
Student achievement	Student achievement	Student achievement
Safety	Safety	Safety
Student behaviour	Student behaviour	Student behaviour

Purpose and meaning	Purpose and meaning	Purpose and meaning
