Small classes better motivated
erth’s only Jewish school
has achieved the highest
median tertiary entrance
ranking in the State.
Though Carmel School does not
appear on the official table released
by the School Curriculum and
Standards Authority because it had
fewer than 20 students last year, it
achieved a stellar median
Australian Tertiary Admission
Rank of 96.65.
This means that half the school’s
17 university-bound students
achieved an ATAR above that.
The next highest median ATAR
of 93.6 was achieved by Perth
Modern School, where all students
are selected for their academic
ability.
Principal David Taylor said even
though it was easier for a small
school to achieve a higher median
P
ATAR than a big one, it was still a
remarkable achievement by
talented and motivated students.
Though Carmel was a Jewish
school it also had an open
enrolment policy and took a few
non-Jewish students.
Mr Taylor said it had been an
advantage for the students to be in
such a small year group which was
about half the size of a normal Year
12 cohort.
“Each of the courses had very
small class sizes and the teachers
were able to give them intimate and
personal support,” he said.
“But they were also a very
motivated group of kids that were
keen to do well.”
He said the school tended to
achieve good results because
Jewish people had a strong
tradition of valuing learning.
“That dates back 5000 years,” he
said.
“That whole culture of valuing
learning is inculcated in the
families and the schools.”
Mr Taylor said Carmel had the
opposite problem from many
schools because it had to
discourage some students from
doing too much homework.
Noa Levin, 17, who was head girl
last year and scored an ATAR of
98.4, said the Year 12s were a
close-knit group who had shared
the same classes for most of their
lives.
“We had quite a bright bunch of
people and everyone pushed each
other to do the best that we could
do,” she said.
“Some classes had only two
students. It was really good having
that one on one with the teachers.”

Hertzman, Gregg Osrin, Zach Benn, Bradley Malin and Danelle Terry.

2 HOW YOUR SCHOOL RATES
STORIES BY BETHANY HIATT
Different sources for data
orming an opinion of
school quality based on the
academic achievements of
one group of Year 12s in
one year is a bit like scoring a
restaurant based only on its dessert
menu.
Anyone judging a restaurant
would also take into account the
quality of its other courses, as
well as customer service and
ambience.
In the same way, anyone
comparing schools would also look
at what sports they offered, the
standard of teaching and how close
they are to their home — not just at
how well their Year 12s fare
academically.
And when it comes to ranking
schools, there is no one measure
that can capture adequately the
differences between schools, which
is why the School Curriculum and
Standards Authority warns readers
to look at a range of different
tables, instead of drawing
conclusions from just one.
That is also the reason The
Weekend West has this year chosen
to produce a separate top 50 list
based on the median Australian
Tertiary Admission Rank achieved
by students in each school.
That data comes from a different
source and is obtained under
freedom of information laws, so
readers will not find the full list
anywhere else.
The median ATAR is simply the
middle ATAR score achieved by
that school, which means half the

students performed above and
below that mark. Some critics have
also argued that using ATARs is a
fairer measure because it is based
on scaled exam and school marks
that have undergone a statistical
moderation process.
They say WACE course scores —
on which the WACE top 50 list is
based — are less reliable because
they have not been subjected to any
scaling to take into account the
difficulty of the courses that
students have studied.
SCSA board chairman Patrick
Garnett acknowledges that ranking
schools based on their median
ATAR is another valid measure of
achievement.
“But, like all of these indicators,
18
19
it’s capable of being distorted by
things like how many kids get
encouraged to do the ATAR courses
versus how many get encouraged
out of it,” he said.
“If you had a median ATAR of 65
and 95 per cent of your kids were
doing it, I think that’s better than
having a median ATAR of 70 and 30
per cent of your kids doing it.”
Many of the same schools appear
on both lists in slightly different
order.
All Saints’ College, which ranked
top of the WACE list, is third on the
ATAR list.
Top-ranking public school, Perth
Modern, which is the only WA
school with an entry exam, came
second on both lists.

• Based on the number of stage 3 course enrolments in the school
where a WACE course score of 75 or above was achieved.
• As a result of the half cohort of Year 12 students, some schools
that would normally appear in the tables have not been included.
In 2014, these schools had fewer than 20 full-time eligible Year 12
students or fewer than 50 stage 3 unit pairs.

League Tables
are incomplete
Academic results of
IB students are not included
A number of schools in Western Australia now offer
students a choice between the global International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or the
Western Australian Courses of Study (WACE) as
a way to secure a University placement.
The schools listed below support the AHISA statement that league
tables do not represent the worth of an education at any given
school. The validity of these tables is further compromised by the
fact that IB Diploma student results are not included in the league
calculations.
If ‘school rankings’ are important to you in selecting the right school
for your child’s education, make sure you have the full picture.

The Association of Heads of Independent School of
Australia (AHISA) WA and the Catholic Secondary
Principals’ Association (CSPA) do not support the
publication of league tables as they unfairly compare
schools and students using a narrow and simplistic
measure. League tables ignore the relative advantages
and disadvantages inherent in society.
The tables fail to recognise student achievement and engagement in
other diverse programmes and domains. Nor do they recognise integrity
of character. League tables also underestimate the important partnerships
schools develop to support young people moving into the next phase of
their lives.
We congratulate all Year 12 students who have achieved their personal
best in the WACE and applaud the commitment, professionalism and
dedication of all teachers and ancillary staff in supporting the achievements
of Western Australian students.

READING THE TABLES
• These tables combine information provided by the School
Curriculum and Standards Authority and by the Tertiary
Institutions Service Centre. Different criteria are applied by the
two bodies when compiling these lists.
• Information on achievement in WA Certificate of Education
(WACE) and vocational education and training (VET) courses is
released annually by SCSA.
• Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) statistics were
obtained by The Weekend West from TISC under freedom of
information laws.
• The first three columns of the table on pages 4 and 5 show the
number of eligible Year 12s at each school, the percentage of
stage 3 enrolments and the proportion in which students scored
75 or higher. The last three columns show how many students
achieved an ATAR by sitting at least four exams, each school’s
median ATAR and the percentage of Year 12s who graduated.
• Schools with fewer than 20 eligible Year 12 students are not
listed, nor are those with mature-age and international students.
The median ATAR is not given if there are fewer than five
students with an ATAR.
• The table on page 6 shows the number of Year 12s at each
school who did VET courses and the percentage who completed
a certificate II or higher. Schools with fewer than 20 eligible
students or with fewer than 10 students enrolled in at least one
VET unit of competency are omitted.
• Page 8 lists alphabetically the schools with the
highest-performing students in stage 3 WACE courses, based on
the percentage who achieved a course score of 75 or higher. The
list does not include schools with fewer than 10 students in that
course. Up to 15 schools with the highest percentage are listed.

Regional
success
C
ountry schools put on a
good showing, with eight
making it into the top 50
WACE table for academic
achievement.
School Curriculum and
Standards Authority chief
executive Allan Blagaich said it
was encouraging to see so many
regional schools on the list.
“There are some schools that
have not in the past appeared that
are pleasing to see,” he said.
Education Department
director-general Sharyn O’Neill
said she was delighted to note that
five regional public schools had
made it into the top 50 table.
“It is a tremendous credit to all
students and staff and shows we
have strong schools in country
WA,” she said.
The top-ranked public country
school was Albany Senior High
School, which placed 27th on the
table based on the percentage of
units in which students achieved
course scores of 75 or above.
The other public schools
included Australind (32), Margaret
River (33) and Manjimup Senior
High School (42) and Manea
College (45).
Private schools Bunbury
Cathedral Grammar School (41),
(44) and Bunbury Catholic College
(49) also featured.
Though it did not appear on any
of the tables because it had so few
students, St Mary’s College in
Broome also had a stellar year,
with several pupils achieving
results in the top 10 per cent of the
State.
Albany SHS deputy principal
Graeme Bell attributed his school’s
performance to its committed,
experienced teachers who
counselled students to enrol in
courses that suited them.
“We’re fortunate we’ve got some
very good feeder schools,” he said.
“And we’ve got good counselling
processes where we work with the

PATHWAY KEY TO SATISFACTION
he number of schools vying
for top of the table for
vocational education and
training achievement is
growing each year as high schools
increase their focus on VET courses.
Nineteen schools tied for first
position on the rankings based on
the proportion of students
achieving a VET certificate II or
higher, up from 14 the previous year.
Thornlie Senior High School had the
most students, with 87.
Principal Paul Billing attributed the
school’s performance to teachers’
diligence in monitoring students’
progress through their courses to
make sure they met all their
deadlines. The school had also
increased the number of courses it
offered to appeal to students’
interests in areas such as media,
music, dance and visual arts.
“Given that about 70 per cent of our
students are vocationally bound, we
thought we really needed to look at
broadening the range,” he said.
“So we’ve gone from about four
mainstream courses about three
years ago and we’re offering about
a dozen now.
“We’ve built pathways of
complementary courses around
T
each of those and we counsel our
students very strongly to make sure
they get the pat
pathway that’s going to
satisfy their needs and their
interests, so we don’t have them
falling by the wayside halfway
through the course.”
Thornlie VET co-ordinator and
registered training organisation
manager Linley Stewart said
everything students did in the
classroom was linked to what
happened in real workplaces.
She said students could choose
between courses as diverse as
information technology, hospitality,
child care and sport.
Thornlie SHS dux of vocational
studies Danii Rock said she liked
having the flexibility to do courses
that she enjoyed without the
pressure of having to sit exams.
She did courses in visual arts,
outdoor education, media
production, careers and enterprise,
maths and English. “They give you
heaps of options,” she said.
Danii plans to study events
management at TAFE this year.
Last year more than 41 per cent of
all Year 12 students took part in a
VET program, with 7000 students
achieving at least one qualification.
students to get them in a course
appropriate to their aspirations
and abilities. If you get the kids
into the right courses they’re
motivated and they do well.”
Mr Bell said country students
tended to be independent learners
who had many outside interests.
“It’s not all academic rigour —
it’s about the sporting and the
cultural also,” he said.
About 40 per cent of the students
at Albany took ATAR courses that
put them on a path towards direct
university entry, though many took
a gap year before moving away
from Albany to start tertiary
studies.
Mr Bell said most of the high
achievers who put their school
uniforms on for one last time to be
photographed were also planning
to go to university.
The school’s head boy, Reyne
Hordacre, who spoke at the funeral
last week of fellow Year 12 student
Jay Muscat who was killed by a
shark, hopes to study medicine.
