Positive student wellbeing and engagement survey results for 2026

Building an even better education system is a core part of our Government’s 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.

We are continuing to deliver for students right across the State, with the 2026 Student Wellbeing and Engagement Survey showing strong results.

Minister for Education, Jo Palmer, said these positive results reflect our strong commitment to supporting our students.

“The latest Survey maintained strong participation rates, with 27,810 students participating,” Minister Palmer said.

“I am so pleased to see the significant increases in students reporting medium or high wellbeing for School Belonging, up 4.9 per cent, and feeling Safe at School, up 3.6 per cent, since 2022.

“Positive relationships remain a strength within our schools, with 95 per cent of students reporting they have good relationships and support from their teachers, and 89 per cent of students reporting they have good quality social support from their peers.

“We are also seeing positive movement in our students’ learning and engagement, with improvements in perseverance, motivation to achieve goals, and learning practices.

“Together, these results reinforce the important work happening across our schools every day to create safe, supportive and engaging learning environments.”
