I'm interested in a 30-day trial for the AVQ

The questionnaire supports schools to:

  • Understand how students are developing and whether they are absorbing your school’s values
  • Use the data to inform initiatives, track their impact and share the uptake of values to the school community
  • Test past students to see how their attitudes and values have developed since graduation.

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.

Backed by decades of research

Since 1997, ACER’s Attitudes and Values Questionnaire has been a popular choice for Australian schools interested in testing the social and emotional capacity of students. Originating as a project for John XXIII College in Perth, it has attracted international demand and is now also available for international clients outside of Australia.
