Rutherford, and many schools around New Zealand use a web based tool to survey students about their wellbeing. This tool is called Goodspace. It takes less than 10 minutes for students to answer health and wellbeing questions.
The survey is used by the Student Services team (that is the counsellors and the nurse) to ensure we are offering support to students as needed. This is a part of our wellbeing plan to protect and enhance the hauora of our rangatahi.
Year 9 students will be surveyed in week 3 of this term. If you do not wish your child to complete the survey please contact their tutor teacher.
