ON TRACK 2018 SURVEY RESULTSPage 2

Melbourne (C)

About On Track SurveyOn Track is a large-scale survey designed to monitor the destination outcomes of Year 12 or equivalent completers and Yr 12 non-completers six months after leaving school. This information provides insights into post-school destinations and pathways, and highlights the diversity of pathways young people pursue after leaving secondary school. The On Track survey involves students from all Victorian school sectors.

Data obtained through the On Track survey are used to publish post-school education, training and employment destinations. Those not studying or in part-time work are offered career pathway advice and assistance via a referral service.

This report provides local level information on the post-school education, training and employment destinations of students who attended schools in this LGA, to support post compulsory education planning and to assist with youth support services. The report draws on data obtained through the 2018 On Track survey.

Some data presented has not been released due to the small numbers of respondents. These data will either be presented as "np" (not published) or appear blank (in figures and charts) where the number of respondents are less than five.

Data represented by gender will be displayed as male, female and All Total. The All total figures will include students who identified as either male, female, undefined gender and incomplete responses. Report results will be inclusive of all gender types.

OTHER ON TRACK REPORTS

In addition to LGA reports, the following reports are produced annually from the On Track survey:

Statewide report

School reports

On Track destination data is provided to schools to assist in the development of curriculum options and careers advice for students, to assist them in achieving their post-school education and employment goals.

On Track destination data of school leavers for each Victorian school are available for download in the Victorian Assessment Software System (VASS).

The On Track statewide snapshot and LGA reports are available to the public on the On Track website.

1. ON TRACK SURVEY RESPONSE RATES: SCHOOL LEAVERS IN MELBOURNE (C)

Consent to participate in the On Track surveys is required to enable the Department to contact school leavers. Consent is sought via a question on the students' Victorian Curriculum Assessment and Authority (VCAA) enrolment form completed when a student enrols in a senior secondary unit.

Students who consent to participate in the survey are contacted six months after leaving school. Participation in the survey is voluntary and school leavers may opt-out of completing the survey when contacted.

1.1 Participation of Year 12 or equivalent completers in the 2018 On Track survey

Year 12 or equivalent completers are defined as those who completed a Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL, Senior or Intermediate). The sample includes those who completed such qualifications in schools, or in TAFE institutions, or Adult and Community Education providers.

Participation rate (per cent) 40.0 51.7 45.4

Note: Participation rate = On Track respondents as a proportion of school leavers in cohort

1.2 Participation of Yr 12 non-completers in the 2018 On Track survey

For On Track, Yr 12 non-completers are defined as students who had registered their details with the VCAA by enrolling in an IB program or a VCE or VCAL unit, and who left school without completing one of the following certificates: VCE, IB, VCAL Senior or VCAL Intermediate. In general, Yr 12 non-completers had been in Year 10, 11 or 12 when they left school. As such, the sample does not represent all Yr 12 non-completers from Victorian schools.

Findings based on the Yr 12 non-completers' data should be treated with caution due to the relatively low response rate.

Participation rate (per cent) 5.6 11.2 7.9

Note: Participation rate = On Track respondents as a proportion of school leavers in cohort.

* The Yr 12 non-completers response rate is affected by a number of factors:

Yr 12 non-completers who had not attended school in 2017 or had returned to school in 2018 were out of scope of the survey but were included in the cohort file.

A proportion of Yr 12 non-completers could not be contacted or had unusable or incorrect contact information.
