Every two years, students in grades 4-12 will be provided with an opportunity to participate in the Student Census/Climate Survey. These surveys help our school board and schools better understand our students’ school experience and perceived level of mental health and well-being. The Ministry of Education also requires school boards to collect demographic data from students, such as indigenous identity, race, ethnic origin, religion, sexual identity, first language, etc. The Student Census/Climate Survey is completely confidential and anonymous.  

Staff and parents are also invited, every two years, to participate in a Climate Survey designed for staff and parents, respectfully. Again, these surveys are completely anonymous and confidential. By collecting the valuable insights that staff and parents share, we can best ensure our schools remain safe learning environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Information from the surveys is used to empower school teams to create positive changes in their schools and classrooms. Should you have any questions regarding this survey, or would like more information, please contact your school’s principal.
