NSW School Students Health Behaviours Survey 2017
The New South Wales Ministry of Health has chosen Brisbane Waters Secondary College, Umina Campus to take part in the NSW School Students Health Behaviours Survey. The survey is about the health behaviours of adolescents and aims to find out how common these behaviours are. The survey covers topics such as: alcohol, tobacco, and substance use, nutrition and eating, height and weight, physical activity, psychological distress, and sun protection.
We have randomly selected 80 students from 6 classes to participate in this survey. Their name will not be on the survey. No individual school or individual student will be identified in any reports published from the survey. Reports will only be used to develop policies and programs designed to improve the health of young people.
These 80 students have been given the Consent Form Behaviours Survey 2017 (pdf 209 KB)so they can participate in this Survey. The Survey will take place on FRIDAY 17TH NOVEMBER. It is vital that we have these Consent Forms returned as soon as possible so that we have the numbers to complete this very important survey.
