What’s changing for Pulse in 2024?

We’re very excited to introduce our new and improved check-in experience to Student Pulse! Our latest update lets students personalise their Pulse interface and answer Reflection questions during check-in.

What’s new and changing?

New user interface students can personalise

Students will first see Pulse’s updated interface, and they can change the theme colour from their Profile.

Reflection Questions: Digging Deeper and Insights

We’re introducing two new questions in the student check-ins, designed to help students reflect more deeply on their wellbeing.

After answering the ‘How are you feeling today?’ wellbeing question, students will be asked to name the emotion they feel. Then at the end of the check-in, Pulse will ask what makes them happy, relaxed, or excited. They can select an answer from the predetermined responses provided.

Coming soon - Wellbeing Insights

Watch this space for Wellbeing Insights. Wellbeing Insights summarises students’ check-ins over the course of each term. The report covers how they answered the check-in questions and what types of gratitude they shared to peers or staff at school, among other things!

Students will receive their Wellbeing Insights at the end of each term.
