Abstract

The Connecting Schools + Connecting Communities survey was conducted across Australian schools in 2021 and 2022 as part of the multi-year research project, Building Connections: Schools as Community Hubs (2019 - 2022).This report is a descriptive summary rather than an interpretive analysis of the survey results, providing a rich data set about where, when, how and to what degree Australian schools are being used as community hubs.Further information about the Building Connections project is available here: https://sites.research.unimelb.edu.au/learn-network/home/projects/building-connections
