PARENT, STUDENT, TEACHER SATISFACTION

2022 can generally be described as the ‘Year of the Reset’ with organisations such as Ivanhoe Grammar School looking to return to ‘post-COVID’ normality across so many areas of the school.

School tours recommenced, parents and grandparents were invited back onto the campus, social functions were reinstated and students filled the classrooms and thrived on the face-to-face interaction between both teachers and peers.

From primary through to Year 12, the comments by many parents reinforced the content, care and consideration provided by teachers to ensure that students were able to transition back to the classroom after two disrupted years.

In terms of intertest in the school, our enquiries and enrolments exceeded expectations during 2022. Primary years at Plenty Campus continued to grow with Foundation numbers exceptionally strong with projections predicting continued capacity numbers in the coming years. In addition, our Year 9 University Campus maintains its status as a significant point of entry into the School for both campuses.

As per previous years, we surveyed our Year 12 parents at the conclusion of the year and asked several key questions pertaining to their child’s final year at school and their eventual ATAR score and tertiary placement (if applicable). Overall, the parent responses were very positive with the question ‘How satisfied are you with your child’s tertiary placement?’ attracting a weighted score of 9.23 out of 10, for ‘Extremely Satisfied’.
