Work demands in Year 12

This survey is to gather information on the demands of Year 12 studies. The survey is anonymous - it does not allow tracking of responses (unless you put a name in!) Information gathered will help the school plan better for 2005 and beyond.
Name (optional): 


  1. On average, most weeknights I spend about the following number of hours on productive (school) work:
    more than 3
    between 2 and 3
    between 1 and 2
    less than 1


  1. On weekends, on the average, I spend about the following number of hours on productive (school) work:
    more than 5
    between 3 and 5
    between 1 and 3
    less than 1


  1. List the subjects you take in order of their (approximate) demand on your time. (Put the most demanding first, and the least demanding last—abbreviations are OK).


  1. The time I have in spare periods is:
    used mostly for school work
    used partially for school work
    used occasionally for school work
    hardly ever used for school work
    I do not have spare periods


  1. To what extent do you feel that SACs affect your regular work in other subjects?
    hardly at all
    significantly, but only for a few days
    a great deal; I often have to fit my other work in around the SACs


  1. Does the pressure of SACs ever affect what you do in other classes?
    Yes; I often do SAC work in other subject class time
    Yes; I occasionally do SAC work in other subject class time
    Yes; I often skip classs in order to do SAC work
    Yes; I occasionally skip classes in order to do SAC work
    No; I seldom or never do any of the above


  1. Some students have indicated that their SACs in some subjects interfere significantly with their regular work in other subjects.

    If this is so for your work, could you list the one or two that have the greatest impact? (If no subject has a significantly greater impact than any other, leave the box blank)
