Frequently Asked Questions

How would students access the portal?

A link (specific to each school) is provided to schools to send to their students. Each school has its own survey.

What identifying information are you collecting?
  • Year level
  • Gender
  • School
How is student completion tracked during the survey?

Weekly updates will be communicated with each school regarding the completion of the survey. The survey is designed to be open for 3-4 weeks, but this can be extended or shortened on request.

Which year levels participate in the survey?

The Digital Life Survey is designed for students in Year 7-11 and is conducted in Term 4. 

Are we able to tailor some questions in the survey?

No. The survey needs to have the same set of questions for all schools to obtain the big picture data, but adding school-specific questions will be possible. Schools can add additional questions if they wish.

How will school data be protected?

Schools that participate in the survey will not be identified in the aggregated results. The survey is collected through a secured form protected through Google for Education. Google has strong security systems in place to keep personal information secure, including an encrypted HTTPS connection.
