Overview

We are pleased to report that the class of 2006 has maintained Modbury High School's long-standing reputation for obtaining subject pass rates that are well above state average. Congratulations to those students who applied themselves throughout the year and performed to the best of their ability. Credit must also be given to the teachers and to the families of the students who have supported them throughout their education.

 Tertiary Education Rank.

The table below shows the percentage of students obtaining a TER within the stated decile ranges. The TER is the major selection criterion for entrance for many university courses. To be eligible to receive a TER a student must complete 5 Stage 2 subjects and obtain a SACE. The majority of our students (71.6 %) were eligible to receive a TER. The remaining students were pursuing options such as VET courses, doing a combination of Stage 1 and Stage 2 subjects, or completing less than a full load of subjects. These options enable students to follow the TAFE or employment pathways upon leaving school.

T.E.R.	Students (%)
90-99.95	10.6
80-89.95	15.0
70-79.95	18.8
60-69.95	10.6
50-59.95	10.6
40-49.95	4.3
30-39.95	0.6
Less than 30	0.0
No TER	29.4

Distribution of Grades

The table below shows the percentage allocation of grades earned by the 2006 year 12 cohort. Overall 93.8 % of the grades obtained were passing grades (A, B and C grades). These results compare very favourably with the state average pass rate of 82.6 % and are consistent with the very good achievement attained by Modbury High students over a long period of time.

B	44.0	34.8
C	31.0	27.2

Merits

Congratulations to the students who gained a merit (a score of 20 out of 20) in the subjects shown in the table below. Merits are awarded to approximately the top 1.5% of students in a subject and students receiving a merit are invited to attend a special presentation ceremony at Government House.

Student	Subject	Teacher
Jessica Neong	Mathematical Applications	Ms. Christelow
Jason Worden	Health, Recreation and the Community	Mr. Goult

There were a further 23 results of "19"(approximately the top 4% of students in a subject) obtained in the following subjects- Biology (3), Mathematical Applications (6), Modern History (3), Specialist Mathematics (2), Music Solo Performance (2), Mathematical Studies (2), Physics (4), Physical Education (1).
 

tertiary pathways

Students wishing to undertake further study at either an Institute of TAFE or at a University apply for courses through SATAC. Some students apply for courses at both University and TAFE, and therefore may receive an offer from both. Of the 121 Year 12 students who applied for SATAC courses, 112 (92.6 %) received at least one offer in the first round. 72 % of the students receiving an offer obtained their first preference.

The tables below summarise the SATAC offers made to Modbury students.

SATAC Institution	Number of Offers
University of SA	50
University of Adelaide	23
TAFE	30
Flinders University	8
Charles Darwin Uni	1
