Wellbeing Survey
by Gerry Atkin - Monday, 6 May 2024, 8:51 AM
 

Dear Young Men,
Re: Wellbeing at School

Young people’s wellbeing has been a significant topic in society in general and education in particular for the last decade.  We are involved in a research project through the International Boys’ Schools Coalition (IBSC) and require your help. 

The link below is to a survey that we need ALL young men to complete.

 https://unsw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6R3ooQ2ZTc3R9RA

This survey, coordinated by Professor Andrew Martin of the Educational Psychology Group at the University of New South Wales, is being completed by boys at boys’ schools across the globe.  The information from this survey will be used to help develop strategies and resources for schools to use to support the wellbeing of young men.  As such we believe that it is an important project for us to support and contribute to.

We would appreciate it if you could please ensure you complete the survey before Friday, May 10.  It will take approximately 20 minutes and needs to be completed in one session.

Thank you for your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
 
D M Bovey
RECTOR
