The results from AVQ helps schools make judgements about the ways in which they encourage students to adopt school principles and to identify areas of concern or future action.
AVQ is suitable for all secondary students, separate year levels or specific student groups. Administering the survey annually or bi-annually allows schools to measure development trends.
