Hello, my name is brenton and I am current Year 12 student. I am currently conducting a Personal Interest Project as part of my requirements to complete the two units Society & Culture Course for the HSC. My research area is on “whether or not the media present an accurate positive or negative portrayal of the event Schoolies”. You will remain anonymous throughout this process; your answers will be solely used for the purpose of my assessment only. Thank you!

NB: PLEASE BOLD YOUR ANSWERS WHERE POSSIBLE!!!

Please specify your age_______

Please tick your gender.
Female
Male

In what year did you attend Schoolies

All there is to know
I had heard some different things about it
I knew a fair bit, but I wish I had known more
I knew very little to almost nothing about Schoolies

Where did you gain a majority of your Schoolies Information

Family members
Friends
Past Schoolies
Newspapers
Magazines

Did the media have an affect on the decisions you and/or your family made on whether or not to participate in Schoolies?

Yes, it had a lot of influence in my decision on Schoolies.
It had a some affect on my decision
No, it mainly had an affect on my families views on Schoolies
No, it had no affect on my decision at all.

Did the media affect the way in which your “Schoolies” event was portrayed? If so, was it a positive or negative portrayal of your time at Schoolies?
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________

In 2005, the media has portrayed mostly a negative view on Schoolies. Words such as violent, out of control, fights, bashings, rape, drugs, alcohol abuse and public nuisance were frequently used throughout the media.

Do you believe that this is a fair portrayal of Schoolies? Why or why not?

Do you agree or disagree with this statement and why?

Do you have any further comments to make on Schoolies, or the media’s portrayal of Schoolies? OR any suggestions about this questionnaire or my Project that you would like to mention? Thank you for your time!!!!

you would do better to put this in the surveys and research forum tbh, not many people look at the SaC threads.

A suggestion for your questionnaire, have an option for people who didn't go on schoolies, find out what their views were, they they didn't go etc.
