7 Student attendance and retention rates 7.1 Student Attendance For full details see http://www.myschool.edu.au/SchoolProfile/Index/71098/CranbrookSchool/43969/2012 7.2 Retention Rates in the Secondary School Retention rates at Cranbrook remain high. They are calculated by making a comparison of the number of students enrolled for an initial year, such as those who completed Year 10 and deducting those students in this cohort who did not complete Year 12. The actual retention rate is reported as a percentage. Cohort Group Years Cohort Students Completing Year 10 Cohort Students Completing Year 12 Actual Retention Rate (%) 2000 / 2002 126 123 97.60% 2001 / 2003 126 120 95.20% 2002 / 2004 134 125 93.30% 2003 / 2005 134 130 97.00% 2004 / 2006 127 121 95.30% 2005 / 2007 135 126 93.30% 2006 / 2008 142 130 91.60% 2007 / 2009 138 130 94.20% 2008 / 2010 120 112 93.30% 2009 / 2011 120 113 94.20% 2010 / 2012 132 122 92.40% Overall, the actual average retention rate over the eleven cohorts reported to date is 94.3%. The number of leavers in the current cohort, 2010/2012, is only 1 greater than the average for the last five groups reported and approximately the same as the overall average number of leavers reported to-date. The average number of leavers for the first five cohorts (2002 to 2006) is 6, compared to that of the last five cohorts (2007 to 2011) being 9. These variations between the two groups are not statistically significant and do not show a trend. Variations can be accredited to international financial pressures during this latest 5 year period, where the economic fluctuation over this period has impacted on families. 7.3 Management of Non-attendance The Absence and leave policy is to be found in the Parent handbook on the school’s website: www.cranbrook.nsw.edu.au. 17
8 Post School destinations This information relates to the destinations of students over 17 years of age who left the School in 2012. These students represent the post compulsory school attendance group. This information is provided in two parts: −− Student Leavers 17 years or over prior to the HSC, and −− Students Completing the HSC - Year 12. Student Leavers – Post-compulsory Age of 17 years Post School Destinations – Over 17 Years of Age Destination Number Percentage of 2012 Cohort Overseas 1 Unknown 1 Total Leavers 2 1.5% The number of leavers represents 1.5% of the total number of students in Year 12 in 2012. The majority, 98.5% of the 2012 student cohort completed their Higher School Certificate and went on to: a tertiary institution; overseas; TAFE to further their education or work. The full detail of destinations of these students is provided in the next section. The collection of the information for students over 17 years of age is not compulsory and families are sometimes unwilling to provide this information. Students Completing the HSC in 2012 – Year 12 Leavers The School contacts Year 12 students after ATARs are released in December. The School uses the UAC guide from the Sydney Morning Herald and the UAC Website to ascertain university offers. The group labelled Unknown includes students who did not wish to provide information or were overseas and therefore not contactable.
