This study examines the opinions of a randomly
selected sample of Year 12 students attending Narrabundah
College in 1979.
A survey was administered to determine what tasks
the students believed important for secondary schools and
how well the students considered Narrabundah College
achieved these tasks. It has been possible to analyse
the relative importance and achievement of the individual
tasks because of the ranking procedure involved.
Part I of the research instrument was extracted
from a survey, commissioned by the Committee of Inquiry
into Education and Training, distributed to New South Wales
students. This was a component of a comprehensive study
of the views of students, teachers and parents conducted
by the Community Expectations Group, School of Teacher
Education, Canberra College of Advanced Education, 1978.
The responses given by the Narrabundah College
students are compared with the N.S.W. students' responses
and are also compared with the conclusions from other
surveys concerning the objectives of secondary education.
These comparisons are discussed with reference to
the unique characteristics of the secondary colleges which
developed from the Report of the Working Committee on
College Proposals for the Australian Capital Territory,
Secondary Education for Canberra (1973).
