I would urge every school to consider utilizing the Student Spiritual Life Survey. Our experience at Trinity Grammar School was utterly positive.
Through this survey, NCLS provided us with insights into the spiritual life and wellbeing of our students across our 4 campuses. It has helped us identify key areas where we can offer better support and it will guide our Christian ministry to be more responsive to the needs of our students.
By using this survey, we are developing a model of ministry that better reaches the needs of our students.
For schools looking to strengthen their impact, the Student Spiritual Life Survey is an essential resource that delivers tangible, actionable benefits.
James Harricks, Senior Chaplain
Trinity Grammar School
Our school has been wanting to gain an accurate understanding of the spiritual life of the school for quite some time.
The NCLS survey was easy to deliver, well organised and the insights we received are detailed and relevant. Ruth was excellent at breaking down the results and providing thorough analysis of the data.
By looking deeply through the results of the survey, we have been able to work through the implications with the Christian studies department, counselling, service learning, executive, and head of school. The information gathered has been both encouraging and challenging and provides us clarity on the way forward for the Christian life of our school.
The survey was so successful that we will continue to implement the NCLS survey each year to gain long term data on the trends of our students.

We are delighted to be working with NCLS Research as part of our Strategic Plan to better know and understand the faith experience of our students and their families. The Student Spiritual Life Survey helps us to measure the spiritual life and health of our students.
The help and expertise of NCLS Research ensures we capture relevant, practical and authentic data so that the Christian education we offer at RPCS will respond sensitively not only to the specific faith needs of our community but to the broader cultural issues in our society.
Catherine Bradshaw,
Leader of Christian Development
Regents Park Christian School
“As a school deeply committed to nurturing the holistic development of our students, understanding their spiritual needs has always been a priority. The Student Spiritual Life Survey by NCLS Research has been an invaluable tool in helping us towards this goal.
Through the comprehensive data provided by the survey, we have gained profound insights into the spirituality of our student body. The ability to analyse differences between cohorts has allowed us to recognise the unique spiritual journeys of each group of students, enabling us to tailor our faith and wellbeing initiatives accordingly.
This tool has empowered us to better understand the spiritual landscape of our school community, and to strategise as to how we best support the spiritual life of our students, ensuring that our efforts are targeted and effective.
The Student Spiritual Life Survey is an incredible tool we now utilise in our mission to foster the spiritual growth and wellbeing of our students. It has provided us with the data-driven insights necessary to refine our approach, ultimately creating a more supportive and enriching environment for students.”

As a Christian College we wanted to know whether our programs met the needs of young people and whether we were helping them progress in their Christian walk.
We look forward to partnering with NCLS Research to gather important data to inform our next steps in this area which is central to our identity as a Christian school.
