Kia ora koutou,

Over 27,000 students have taken part so far! Thank you! We’d love to make this our biggest year ever – can we get to 30,000 by the end of term?

The questionnaire is open all year. We would love for you to take part during this term, but whenever it suits you best is fine too.

What’s new:

• 56% of all students taking part said that they had used YouTube four or more separate times on the previous day
• 33% of high school students taking part said that they had blocked someone online in the past week

We’d love to see your students too!
