Q. “I feel happy”

All of the information you provide CATS helps us

build a picture about what it is like growing up in

Melbourne. We are very interested in how you

change over the years, especially as you move to

high school. Your information will help us

improve the lives of kids growing up around

Australia, which is why your story is

important!

Why is your contribution so important?
