Hello everyone. My name is Sarah and I am in year 12 at Merewether High School. For my Community and Family Studies Independant Research Project I have chosen to study the differences in attitudes toward education between the three education systems in public, private, and selective schools. My focus is not on which type of schools are best, but rather the attitudes and outlook the students have on their current education, as well as plans for further education. Primary research is an integral part to my project, and if you would kindly take 10 minutes to quickly fill out this questionnaire it would be greatly appreciated. Most answers only require you to tick a box or provide a ranking, and all answers are anonymous throughout the entire process. This is applicable to those already finished year 12 as well!
