National ISA School Choice Survey
The national ISA School Choice Survey is now open. Schools are asked to share the following link and strongly encourage parents within their school community to participate.
The research aims to identify what families consider important when choosing a school (Independent, Catholic or government), what they value about the school in which their children are currently enrolled, the reasons why some families choose not to enrol their children at an Independent school and their voting preferences. The survey will also gauge overall impressions of Independent schools as compared to government and Catholic schools and the impacts of COVID-19 on parents' choice of school.
The survey closes on 1 June 2021.

Myfuture Webinars for parents/carers, teachers and career practitioners
Student wellbeing and career resilience in a rapidly changing world: parents and carers webinar
Friday, 4 June 2021, 10 am AWST
Young people face a future working life which will be marked by constant change. The economic impacts of COVID-19 have caused labour market disruption and job losses for many young people who are over-represented in hard-hit industries such as tourism, hospitality, and arts and culture. Many students have missed important milestones and struggled with the isolation imposed by lockdowns.
In this webinar, Dr Lyn O'Grady, a psychologist specialising in the mental health and wellbeing of children, young people and their parents, will explore the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on student emotional and psychological wellbeing which may create obstacles for students facing complex career decisions and transitions. Lyn will offer practical advice, strategies and resources for parents and carers supporting students in extraordinary times of change.
