Hello.
I am a student from Year 12 at Merewether High School.
As part of our Society & Culture HSC course, students are required to complete research methodologies for a “Personal Interest” Project.
I have chosen to explore the attitudes toward climate change in New South Wales, and was wondering if you would be willing to take a few minutes of your time to complete this short questionnaire.
Your personal information and viewpoints will remain completely anonymousand will not be used for any research outside the Personal Interest Project.
If so, please specify:
