Survey Tags

Please note, Tags are not taken into account by the Class Creator sorting algorithm - However, special needs are considered using the "Additional Support Surveys" data from the surveys. 

Student & Special Needs Tags are used for:
- Creating specialist classes (eg. Gifted and Talented or Support Classes)
- Ensuring students are matched with the best teachers equipped to teach them
- To ensure there is an even mix across the year level of a specific tag

To see how to use tags to create classes, check out the Class Settings article for more information.
