About CensusAtSchool
CensusAtSchool is a non-profit, online educational project designed to make statistics engaging and relevant for students. Supervised by teachers, students from Years 3–13 complete the survey anonymously in English or te reo Māori. The results provide real-world data for classroom learning and insights into students’ lives and opinions.
The project is a collaboration between teachers, the University of Auckland’s Department of Statistics, Stats NZ, and the Ministry of Education. It is co-directed by Rachel Cunliffe and Anne Patel.
