This report was focussed on the Year 12 Graduating Class of 2017 cohort. The data was obtained from a Destinations Survey sent out to all students in mid-late January, after the December round offers for university placement.
The student survey related to:
• Plans for 2018 - categorised into further study, full time employment and a Gap year
• Plans for 2019- if they were taking a Gap year
• Type of study
• Institution of study
In 2018, 91.4% of the young women who completed Year 12 at Merici College in 2017 will continue in some form of recognised education and training in the year after they have left school, 2018, or after they have taken a Gap year.
Approximately 67% will go directly into further study at university (combination of university, CIT/TAFE or a private provider for traineeship), while 25% have decided to take a GAP year. This is down from last year, which was 32% deciding to take a Gap year. In most cases the students are working to fund their travel overseas. 92% of students undertaking a Gap year will enter into further study in 2019.
7% have moved into full time employment or are still looking for work in the Public Service.
