The 2020 Student Wellbeing Survey showed that the attitudes of students in years 4-12 were "relatively stable" compared to this time last year.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Among the key findings were that 96 per cent of students reported having good relationships with and support from their teachers, 91 per cent felt connected to adults at home and 76 per cent felt teachers and students treated each other with respect.
Education Minister Jeremy Rockliff said the data was used to map out and implement programs and professional learning opportunities to help support and improve student wellbeing in Tasmania's state school system.
"While some measures have unsurprisingly seen a small decline, overall the data shows student wellbeing is comparable with 2019," he said.
"The Tasmanian government is committed to lifting educational outcomes and ensuring that each and every student has the best possible chance to learn, grow and thrive."
