Parents/Guardian are requested to report reasons for student absence to the school.

Teachers mark an electronic roll each period and the Administrative Officer identifies and determines the nature of any absence, records the details in the school’s administrative system and makes class teachers aware of a student’s absence through subsequent class rolls.

A daily student absence summary report is published on the school’s intranet for all staff.

Staff involved in the pastoral care of particular students liaise with parents should there be concerns regarding attendance.

A summary of each student’s attendance is published to parents on their semester report, a digital copy of which is stored on the school’s intranet.

Attendance data is forwarded to the Australian Government for Years 1 – 10 students biannually during semesters 1 and 2.

Academic Results 2015 All 171 of our students who completed the year satisfactorily met the requirements of the Victorian Certificate of Education, and we are very proud of them all.

The results are again extraordinary across the full range of scores. Fifty-one students (30%) achieved ATAR scores of 95 or better, placing them in the top five per cent of the State. Seventy-nine students (46%) achieved scores of 90 or better, placing them in the top ten per cent in the State. In addition, 68% of our students achieved a score 80 or better while our median ATAR score was 88.6. These are again wonderful results and I am very proud of our students for the hard work they did to achieve them.

Forty-one per cent of our students gained a study score of 40 or above in at least one of their subjects which puts them in the top 8% of students taking that subject.

There were six perfect study scores across a wide range of subjects: Farouk Al-Salihi in English; Isaac Choong in English and History-Revolutions; Nathan Fong (Year 11) in Mathematical Methods; Erwin Yii in Visual Communication Design; and Garry Zhu in Specialist Mathematics.

This year we have two School Duces, each who earned a score of 99.95 – Justin Tu and Garry Zhu. Our Proxime Accessit is Erwin Yii, who scored 99.90.

A further six students earned scores of 99 or better – Issac Choong, Jasper McCuspie, Augistine Nguyen, Tony Song, James Yang and Oliver Zhang. These boys also studied a wide range of subjects and actively involved themselves in the life of the school. In addition our School Captain and Vice Captain scored incredibly well.

Neelan Josan earned a score of 97.25 and Sean Cutter scored 97.45 – both very impressive scores given the workload they took on during the course of the year.

S tu d ent Destin ation * 16

The table below shows the destinations of the Class of 2015, with all bar two of those seeking an offer receiving one by the conclusion of the VTAC second round. Of the 19 students who received second round offers (11%), two had not received an earlier offer, some had rearranged their preference order and a significant number received higher preferences, including an additional five first preferences. At the conclusion of the second round of offers, 87% of applicants had received their third preference or higher, which is consistent with the Class of 2014.

Together, Monash University and The University of Melbourne account for 62% of the offers received by the 2015 cohort, though The University of Melbourne continues to attract our highest achieving students (95+) with 31 offered places there compared to 12 to Monash, three to ANU, and singles to La Trobe, Deakin and The University of Queensland.

Of the 15 students who successfully applied to interstate institutions, seven are known to have accepted offers to study there, with five going to ANU, one to The University of Queensland and another to the University of New South Wales. Two students also made successful overseas applications; one will commence undergraduate study locally whilst waiting to take up a position at Edinburgh University in September, and the other has deferred a 2017 offer to Columbia University in the U.S. Three students, who have accepted offers locally, are known to have deferred their courses for 12 months; two will work and travel, whilst the third has been recruited to play AFL with Port Adelaide.

The table below highlights the fields of study that students will be pursuing this year. Though somewhat less popular than last year, Management and Commerce continues to top the list as the most popular area of study with 31% of offers. Numbers in general Science (28%) come a close second and if combined with Health Science, which delivered a robust 11% of offers - it could be argued that Science was the most popular choice in 2016. Society and Culture, which accounts for the Arts and Law courses, was once again the third most popular field of study with 21% of offers.

The two students who were unsuccessful in obtaining tertiary offers have enrolled in pathway courses; one is undertaking a preparatory year through Monash College, whilst the other has enrolled in a single unit study at Monash University with the hope of transitioning into the university in Semester Two. Of the three students who elected not to apply for tertiary study, one has begun a career with the Defence Force, another has commenced a traineeship with the ANZ Bank, and the third is undertaking a gap year.

Pa rent, S tudent a n d Te ac her satisfa ction Parent Satisfaction The school surveyed parents in August 2015 using question items designed by the Australian Curriculum and Reporting Authority (ACARA). The survey was carried out electronically. Overall 305 responses out of a total possible 1,317 students were received. 81 Junior School parents, 129 Middle School parents, and 138 Senior School parents responded (some parents have boys in more than one section of the school).

In every area the school received overwhelmingly positive responses from parents at all levels in the school. Parents appreciated the importance of setting high expectations for all students, and it was heartening to see such a high proportion of parents who felt that their son liked being at the school. This survey also highlighted areas that the school can work to improve, and many parents made useful suggestions for ways in which Camberwell Grammar School can continue to serve its community. The school is committed to constant improvement, and welcomes feedback from parents and students.

Teacher Satisfaction During the year all teaching staff participated in planning for the future – the year ahead; 2-3 years ahead and 5 years ahead. This was done at Department level and at Heads of Department level.

This annual input from staff informs changes and improvements to ensure that we continue to provide the best possible environment, facilities and programs for our students and the best possible teaching resources and facilities for staff.

It provides all staff with the opportunity to discuss professional development needs, resources, teaching allotments, class sizes, interaction and communication with parents and the wider community, and any other issues that impact upon the work of the school.

Teacher satisfaction can also be measured in the very low staff turnover – in 2015 there were only three members of staff who left Camberwell Grammar School. The overall experience of teachers is reflected in the high student attendance, exceptional academic results and positive student retention numbers.

We are aware that all schools can improve and at Camberwell Grammar we recognise the need to be constantly vigilant in remaining up to date and relevant for our students, whilst ensuring that we hold on strongly to what is good and worthy in the School, and which helps make Camberwell Grammar the successful school that it is.
