As of December 2015, student wellbeing data had been collected from approximately 52,000 South Australian students in grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. Over 700 school reports had been completed and delivered to schools. Conducting a census of student’s wellbeing rather than completing small scale surveys provides information on students from every school, community, and region.
Given the important work that has been done to date, and the momentum within the education system to continue to collect student wellbeing data, it is imperative to review whether we are measuring the right aspects of student wellbeing and whether the scales that we are using are working effectively. The department commissioned this review from the Fraser Mustard Centre for the purpose of informing future decisions around which aspects of wellbeing should be measured at scale within schools and the quality of the tools available to do this.
