Community Report 2023

Community Report

Camberwell Grammar School is a leading independent school for boys. We are a learning community committed to ensuring that students discover their passions, develop a lifelong love of learning and have a commitment to making a positive contribution to the world around them. Staff and students work together to develop a supportive and inclusive school community which motivates young people to engage with and lead their communities — locally, nationally and internationally.

This report is produced in accordance with the national compliance legislation and is also published on the Camberwell Grammar School website: www.cgs.vic.edu.au

Student Attendance

Parents/Guardians are requested to report reasons for student absence to the School.

Teachers mark an electronic roll each period. The Student Services 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 if there are 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 to 10 students biannually, during semesters 1 and 2.

Student Outcomes

It is with a great deal of pride that I congratulate our Class of 2023 for their outstanding VCE results – among the best in our history. All 173 of our students who completed the year satisfactorily met the requirements of the VCE, and we are very proud of them all.

This year level was in Years 9 and 10 during the COVID-19 years, so they did particularly well. Twenty-one of our students (12%) achieved an ATAR of 99 or better, placing them in the top one per cent of the State. Thirty-six per cent (62 students) achieved a rank of 95 or better, while 56% of our students achieved a score of 90 or better. Our median ATAR score was 91.5, and our average ATAR score was 87.3: the depth of the results is particularly pleasing. Nearly 90% of our students gained a ranking of 70 or better.

There were seven perfect study scores across a range of subjects: English, Specialist Mathematics, Mathematical Methods and General Mathematics. Twenty-one per cent of all study scores were 40 or higher, and the scaling impact of the more ‘difficult’ subjects that many of our students take translated into very high ATARs.

Last year’s Dux was Ashton Lu, who scored the highest possible rank of 99.95. Our Proxime

Accesserunt were Patrick Homes and Alan Tian, who scored 99.90. All three students were actively involved in the full life of the School and worked very hard at their studies.

A further 18 students earned scores of 99 or better. These students also studied a wide range of subjects and actively involved themselves in the life of the School: William Allsop, Roger Cao, Cooper Carbone, Ebyn Chan, Alexander Choong, Andy Congshen, Frank Fan, Albert Guan, Ray He, Joshua Hui, Charlie Leong, Darcy Livingstone, Richard Liu, Ryan O’Hoy, Andrew Ong, Isaac Tan, William Zhang and Justin Zhu.

I would like to publicly acknowledge our remarkable teaching staff, who helped our students achieve these wonderful results. I know that our teachers are very proud of their students, and I am very proud of them. I also congratulate and thank our parents, who encouraged their sons by supporting them through the ups and downs of a VCE year.

Once more, congratulations to the Class of 2023 on their outstanding results. It is pleasing to see their hard work rewarded so generously.

Student Destination

Student Destination - Class of 2023

172 of the 173 Camberwell Grammar School students who successfully completed their VCE applied to undertake tertiary study in 2024. Whilst 170 students received offers in December, an additional 38 offers were made in January, and another four in the February rounds, with all applicants successfully receiving an offer. Whilst most students received just one offer, 22% received two or more. In terms of preferences, 85% of applicants received their first or second options. Four students have chosen to study interstate, and one has advised that they will be accepting an offer to study at Cambridge in the UK beginning later in the year.

The University of Melbourne and Monash University accounted for more than two thirds of offers received; however, Monash continues to be the preferred destination of choice. Sixtyseven students accepted offers to study at Monash compared to Melbourne (49). RMIT was the third most popular institution - 23 offers overall – with students drawn by the range of specialised choices. The table on the facing page compares tertiary destinations over the past three years.

Tertiary Placements 2021-2023

The following table highlights the fields of study that our 2023 cohort intend to pursue. Once again, Management and Commerce remains the clear favourite, with more than a third of our students choosing those courses, though many undertake it as part of a double degree. The next most popular area at undergraduate level was Science, followed by Engineering.

Fields of Study 2022 to 2024

Total 213 (172 students), as double degrees count in more than one field of study.

# This includes offers in Medicine (4), Dentistry (3), Pharmacy (2) and Physiotherapy (1)

* This includes offers in Science (22), Biomedicine (9)

** This includes offers in Arts (14) and Law (6)

In addition to this data, 12 students received graduate degree packages from the University of Melbourne - undergraduate degrees with guaranteed pathways into masters qualifications - Engineering (9), Law (1), Physiotherapy (1), IT (1).
