STUDENT OUTCOMES

Student Attendance 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.

All 175 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. Twenty-three students (13%) achieved an ATAR of 99 or better, placing them in the top one percent of the state. Thirty-five percent of our students achieved a rank of 95 or better, while 51% of our students achieved a score of 90 or better, placing them in the top ten percent of the State. In addition, 68% of our students achieved a score of 80 or better. Our median ATAR score was 90.3. These are extraordinary results and I am very proud of our students for the hard work they did to achieve them. There were nine perfect study scores across a wide range of subjects: Eric Fan in Chemistry and English; Matthew James (Year 11) in Accounting; Mike Ji in Chemistry; Oscar Lu (Year 11) in Chinese Second Language Advanced; George Nikolakakis in Legal Studies; Addison Peers-Johnson in English and History – Revolutions; and Terry Yan in Specialist Mathematics. Twenty-four percent of all study scores were 40 or above.

Congratulations once more to the Class of 2016 on their excellent results. It is pleasing to see that their hard work has been rewarded so generously. Dr Paul Hicks, Headmaster

STUDENT DESTINATION*

The table below highlights the fields of study that students will be pursuing this year. Management and Commerce continues to top the list as the most popular area of study with 33% of offers, Society and Culture (which accounts for the Arts and Law courses) is a distant second with 18% of offers, and Natural and Physical Sciences follows closely behind with 17% of offers.

The table below shows the destinations of the Class of 2016, with all those seeking an offer receiving one by the conclusion of the VTAC second round. Of the 15 students who received second round offers (8%), two had not received an earlier offer, some had rearranged their preference order and a significant number received higher preferences, including an additional seven first preferences. To date, 79% of applicants have received their first or second preference, with 88% receiving their third preference or higher, both of which exceed the outcomes of the Class of 2015. Together, Monash University and The University of Melbourne account for 64% of the offers received by the 2016 cohort, though The University of Melbourne continues to attract our highest achieving students (95+) with 37 offered places there compared to 23 to Monash. Of the 15 students who successfully applied to interstate institutions, three are known to have accepted offers elsewhere, with two accepting places at the Australian National University and one to the University of New South Wales. One student has accepted an early offer to study at The Wharton Business School at The University of Pennsylvania, whilst another three students are still awaiting the outcome of their applications to study overseas.

Teacher Satisfaction There is a high level of teacher satisfaction at Camberwell Grammar School, as shown by a number of critical indicators. One key indicator of staff satisfaction is the very stable set of teachers the school has. In 2016, the annual turnover was just eight out of 151 permanent members of the academic staff. Another indicator is the very low rate of staff absences. Teachers took on average only 0.4 days sick leave - a number dwarfed by the days spent on professional development. Indeed, the school is demonstrably able to attract and retain top staff: Camberwell Grammar School has a disproportionately high number of VCE examiners, examination setters and leaders of subject associations, and the number of teachers eligible for long service leave is a sign of the stability of the teaching body. Teachers meet regularly with the Headmaster and the Heads of Schools, and have a number of additional venues for having their voice heard, including an active Common Room Association (CRA). The President of the CRA has regular meetings with the Headmaster to discuss matters of importance to staff wellbeing and satisfaction. In 2016, staff were offered free and confidential counselling services and a range of other features designed to support staff in their personal and professional lives. Camberwell Grammar School recognises that a teaching staff that is supported and appreciated is essential to the success of the school; while the school is committed to having the highest expectations of its teachers, it is also dedicated to ensuring that the school remains a positive, respectful, encouraging and exciting place to work.

Instructional Coaching for Teachers Camberwell Grammar School has a history of excellence in academic performance and we are justifiably proud of the efforts of our students and their teachers in working to achieve this. However, rather than resting on our laurels, we have taken the pro-active step of developing and implementing a professional development programme that will help to ensure that these high standards are maintained and enhanced in the future. The programme is called Instructional Coaching and its primary focus is the continual improvement in student learning. The notion of professional coaching has been around for a very long time, and has taken various forms, depending on the nature of the profession. Coaching, applied to education, can also take a variety of forms that reflect the values of the institution in which it operates. Our model of coaching is based on respect for the knowledge and skills that our teachers have already acquired, and acknowledges their ability to think and meet challenges inherent in the complex practice of teaching. The process is a partnership between the teacher and a trusted colleague whose role is to assist the teacher reflect on their practice, always with a view to enhancing students learning. It is a non-evaluative and non-judgemental process that uses evidence, gathered from the teacher’s own classes, to make collaborative decisions about future practice. 22

Instructional coaching is an ongoing process, driven by the teacher who, through reflection on their own practice, identifies those areas they wish to refine and further develop. The role of the coach is to help their colleague identify areas to be developed, refine skills, identify their particular goals and plan for future learning. As part of the School’s strategic plan, the Junior School successfully implemented an instructional coaching programme in 2013 and, at the beginning of 2014, the secondary sections of the School also implemented a programme of instructional coaching. Although the coaching programmes operate in slightly different ways in the primary and secondary parts of the school - a reflection of the different stages of education of the boys, both approaches are underpinned by the same research-based idea that student learning improves as teaching improves, and teaching improves when professional development is driven by the teacher, targeted to the individual teacher, provided on site, and is collaborative and ongoing in nature. After eight months of preparatory work in 2014, four members of the teaching staff were appointed to work under the guidance the Director of Staff Development as instructional coaches for the Middle and Senior Schools. Each coach works closely and individually with a small number of teachers to refine teaching strategies. This work involves the usual initial planning by the teacher, lesson observations by the coach - occasionally supplemented by filming - and formative feedback sessions with coach and teacher. During these feedback meetings, the discussion centres on the quality of student cognitive engagement and the teaching strategies that can enhance their learning. The purpose of the meetings is to provide support to the teacher as they work to achieve their teaching goals. Many topics arise during these professional conversations - improvement in formative assessment, enhancement of intellectual engagement for all students, refinement in differentiated instruction for students and the encouragement of independence in learning - to name just a few. The content of conversations may vary but the focus is always on the improvement of learning outcomes for students. There are many forms of Professional Development and many forms of coaching. So what are the benefits of the Coaching model we have developed here at Camberwell Grammar School? Few of us would question the benefit of coaching in sport - certainly the top players and teams in the world see coaching as an essential element in ensuring that the player or team continually improves, and either stays at the top of their game or strives to reach the top. And so it is in schools with instructional coaching. The benefit of this type of professional development is that it is supportive, personal, individualised and intensive. Its purpose is to help teachers continually improve and stay at the top of their game. Research over the past decade has shown that this type of professional development is significantly more effective at impacting positively on student learning outcomes than the more traditional off-site, short, seminar or workshop-styled professional development. The Instructional Coaching Programme has been embraced enthusiastically, and is now mandatory for all teaching staff at Camberwell Grammar School. It is a clear illustration of our commitment to continuous improvement and, in particular, its desire to ensure the continued high standards in teaching and learning.
