School Climate Survey

In our ongoing efforts to promote safe, inclusive, and accepting schools, and in accordance with the Ministry of Education requirement, the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) implements a School Climate Survey

About the School Climate Survey

School Climate Surveys are conducted every two years to gather information from parents, students in Grades 4-12 and staff in each of our HCDSB schools.

The survey provides feedback to each school about the extent to which students, parents and school staff feel their school supports learning and positive behaviour, and promotes a safe and inclusive environment.

Some important notes about the School Climate Survey:

  • The survey is completely voluntary. 
  • You may skip any questions you do not wish to answer. 
  • The survey is anonymous and confidential. Names will not be collected, and your responses will be securely stored by HCDSB Research and Development Services staff. 
  • Results of the School Climate Survey may be reported at the school and board-level. Individual respondents will not be identified.  

Complete the Survey

Beginning the week of April 10, 2023, students in Grades 4-12 will have the opportunity to complete the School Climate Survey during the school day. All parents and school staff have been sent a link to the survey directly through email.
