On Tuesday 1 September Sacred Heart students will be undertaking a survey during Mentor Group time to measure Sacred Heart's school climate as they see it. School climate represents the collective norms, values and relational experiences that dictate how safe, welcomed and respected staff, students and families feel within a school community. Extensive research demonstrates that a positive school climate, built on strong relationships, high trust and high expectations, is vital to overall school success.
To effectively foster and maintain a positive climate, schools require reliable and actionable data from key stakeholders. The NSI School Climate suite, developed through research at Curtin University, offers validated tools designed to measure these crucial climate factors. By systematically gathering perceptions from students on an ongoing basis, leadership teams can make informed, evidence-based adjustments to their practices and continuously track the effectiveness of their growth strategies.
Some points provided by NSI Partnerships, who have created the survey include:
