      Viewing and Interpreting your Survey Report

      Insights provide schools with a comprehensive view of student wellbeing across a variety of social, emotional, physical, and environmental factors. Regular assessments help identify trends, uncover issues, and track progress over time.

      For guidance on creating a survey, check out the How to Create a Survey guide

      To deep-dive into how each result is calculated, check out the How Survey Results Are Calculated guide.

      Viewing a Survey Report

      • Navigate to the Surveys tab.
      • Select the survey you'd like to review.
      • Click the View Report button.

      Each survey’s report contains four sections:

      1. Summary
      2. Participation
      3. Heatmap
      4. Students

      Glossary of Key Terms

      • Baseline Survey: A comprehensive survey conducted once or twice a year.
      • Trend Survey: A shorter follow-up survey analysing specific targeted factors.
      • Wellbeing Factor: A specific category or theme that serves as a key driver of wellbeing.
      • Favourability Percentage: The percentage of students that responded favourably to a question (answering either “Agree” or “Strongly Agree”).
      • Index Score: A single percentage summarising overall results across all respondents.
      • Factor Score: The average favourability percentage for all questions linked to the factor.

      Summary

      Provides key insights at a glance to help you effectively target your wellbeing initiatives: 

      1. Index: A single score (out of 100) that represents overall student wellbeing.
      2. Trends (e.g. What you’re doing well and Your Top Opportunities): identifying key themes across the school
      3. Cohort Spotlight:  Insights into which year levels are excelling or need extra support.
      4. Student Spotlight (for non-confidential surveys only): Identifying individual students who are thriving, or may require targeted support.

      1. Index

      Provides an overall Index Score score out of 100 for your school on the particular survey being delivered.

      Sample score for the Wellbeing Skills Index survey

      Use Index data to:

      • See if overall student wellbeing is improving by benchmarking and comparing your Index Score with past surveys
      • Set school-side wellbeing goals by using this score as a key indicator to drive decision-making and resource allocation.
      • Inform broader wellbeing strategies by bringing the Index Score into leadership discussions

      2. Trends 

      Provides a high-level view of cohort trends, segmented by favourable, neutral and unfavourable responses to individual questions.

      3. Cohort Spotlight

      Recognises year levels that are excelling and identifies those needing additional support.

       

      4. Student Spotlight (non-confidential surveys only)

      Highlights individual students who are doing well and those who may require intervention.


       

      Participation

      View survey participation by year level, including the number of students invited and the number of students who responded. This will help you get a sense of how representative cohort-level results are for each cohort.

      Heatmap

      This section provides a high-level summary of each key wellbeing factor, with specific questions organised by year level.

      To explore the data in more detail, you can expand each factor to view a breakdown of student responses.

      Use Heatmap data to:

      • Compare wellbeing trends across different year groups.
      • Drill down into specific wellbeing factors to identify key areas of strength and focus within each cohort.
      • Refine your wellbeing strategies and adjust lesson plans or interventions for targeted wellbeing outcomes.

      How to interpret this data:

      • The "ALL" percentage next to each factor represents the average Factor Score across all cohorts.
      • Each year level column displays a +/- value indicating how that group’s score compares to the overall average.

      When a factor is expanded:

      • The “ALL” percentage next to each individual question represents the average favourability percentage for that question across all cohorts.
      • The year level columns show a +/- change indicating how that cohort’s responses differ from the ALL column average.

      Students

      This section provides a high-level summary of student wellbeing data and becomes particularly valuable when the survey is not confidential. In these cases, you can expand each year level to identify key areas of focus for individual students, enabling targeted insights, intervention, and personalised support.

      Use this Students data to:

      • Compare individual student scores to the cohort average and provide targeted wellbeing interventions.
      • Track students’ progress and changes in individual wellbeing over time to assess intervention effectiveness.
      • Collaborate with classroom teachers to provide additional support to students showing lower wellbeing scores.

      Expand each Year Level to view individual student responses

      How to interpret this data:

      • The "ALL" percentage next to each year level represents the average Factor Score for the entire year level
      • Each factor column displays a +/- value indicating how that factor score compares to the overall average.

      When a year level is expanded:

      • The "ALL" percentage next to each student represents the average Factor Score for the individual student
      • Each factor column displays a +/- value indicating how that factor score compares to the student’s overall average.
