Student Survey

172 students successfully completed their VCE at Camberwell Grammar School in 2020, with all but one VTAC applicant receiving an offer. 86% of applicants received their first or second preference, and 92% of students received their third preference or higher. Destinations for the Class of 2020 are shown in the table below. More students were offered places at Monash University (64), than the University of Melbourne (50), though the latter continues to attract our highest achieving students, with 29 students ranked above 95 offered places there, compared to 24 to Monash. Together, both institutions account for 68% of the offers received by the 2020 cohort.

The table below highlights the fields of study that our Class of 2020 students intend to pursue this year. Though significantly less popular than in recent years, Management and Commerce continues to be the most preferred field of study (22%) with Natural and Physical Sciences the second most favoured area (18%), together accounting for almost half of all offers made. Interestingly, there continues to be a noticeable increase in the number of students selecting Engineering and Information Technology courses. Conversely, the decrease in the number of students selecting undergraduate Law courses has not abated, though there was a significant increase in our students selecting general Arts degrees, despite fee increases.
