DOBCEL 2035 Survey – Our 2025 Baseline

We’re pleased to launch the DOBCEL 2035 Survey, marking an important milestone in our shared journey towards the future of Catholic education across our Diocese.

This survey will form our 2025 baseline. It will give us a clear picture of the current landscape across our schools and help us measure our progress in relation to the DOBCEL 2035 Strategy.

What you need to know:

• It will take about 20 minutes to complete. We understand that this is a commitment, but the insight you provide is vital to our long-term planning. Your considered responses are deeply valued.
• The survey will be open until the end of Week 1 in Term 3
• The survey can be accessed via the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/25-DS2035
• All teaching staff and education support roles are encouraged to respond.
  
• Principals of RI/MP JP schools are invited to share the link with their staff and encourage them to complete the survey.
• The survey uses four response options: strongly disagree, disagree, agree, and strongly agree. There are no neutral choices, and each question requires a response. Please answer as honestly and thoughtfully as you can.
• All responses will remain confidential.

A flyer is available to help promote the survey within your school:

Please print and display it in staff areas to help spread the word and encourage participation.

Thank you for your contribution. Your input matters and is deeply valued. The data gathered through this survey will help shape our direction and evaluate our success in the years ahead.
