Hamilton Secondary College was established in 1958 as Mitchell Park Boys Technical High School.
The school became co-educational from 1972 and was known as Mitchell Park High School.
In 1991 Hamilton Secondary School was established following an amalgamation of Glengowrie and
Mitchell Park High Schools.
The name ‘Hamilton’ recognises that the school is located on land once owned by the famous
Hamilton family whose wines were produced from vines planted in the local area more than a
century ago. In 1995 the name Hamilton Secondary College was approved to acknowledge the
diversity of education offered at the site.
Hamilton Secondary College is one of the most complex education and training organizations in
Australia. It operates as 3 campuses plus a Registered Training Organisation. In 2012 it had a total
work-force of 120, who serviced the needs of more than 800 FTE students.
In 2012:
• The 8-10 Campus comprised 254 FTE students.
• The SACE Campus comprised 498.38 FTE students (consisting of 197.61 FTE young adults and
300.77 FTE adult re-entry students).
• Within the SACE Campus, the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) offered access to 18
qualifications for 154 students.
• The Hamilton Disability Unit (Location Number: 7811) catered for 37 FTE students with severe
and multiple disabilities.
There were also more than 100 Flexible Learning Options (FLO) students enrolled through
Hamilton, some accessing on-site programs, but the majority sought entry into off-site programs.
Enrolments
Hamilton’s students include the 13 – 18 year old students within the local community seeking a
secondary education, and a range of students over the age of 18 re-entering education after a gap in
their schooling.
The VET courses offered through our RTO were accessed by a range of secondary students from
across the Inner South Metro Trade School for the Future and by adult re-entry students seeking a
formal qualification.
2012 was the first year of the State’s new Adult Education Policy which stipulates that enrolments
over the age of 21 must be seeking a South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). This change
to enrolment conditions saw a significant drop in our Adult numbers in 2012.
• In 2011 our adult enrolments peaked at 609 FTE (representing more than 1550 enrolments given
such a high proportion are part- time).
• In 2012 the peak was 355 FTE (consisting of approximately 690 enrolments).
The College appreciates that this enrolment reduction from 2011 – 2012 is likely to be a pattern
repeated over the next couple of years, as the adult student community works through the best
ways to access curriculum options from the various adult education providers.

Annual Report 2012
Whilst we anticipate that Hamilton will continue to play an important role in the adult education
market, we must look at the niche we can provide an adult student base, consolidate it and then
build our future enrolments from there.
The Hamilton Disability Unit is a specialist facility for approximately 36 students with significant
intellectual and/or physical disabilities. Students in the Unit also access mainstream facilities and
resources as part of their educational program.
Student numbers have been at capacity in the Disability Unit and in the District Special Class for
more than a decade. There is strong demand for entry to these programs and, because enrolment is
restricted, it is likely that its programs will continue to be fully subscribed.
In 2012, Hamilton had an FTE of more than 800 students. The Adult student population was 355
FTE at its peak, and the secondary student population was approximately 464 FTE.
In recent years, mainstream secondary numbers have been stable and in the general vicinity of the
low to mid 400’s. It appears, however, that relatively small numbers of year 7’s in local primary
schools, plus the SA Government’s support for the expansion of enrolments at Brighton Secondary
School, may result in a steady decrease of Hamilton’s secondary numbers in the future.
Most secondary students live in the suburbs immediately surrounding the College, including Ascot
Park, Clovelly Park, Edwardstown, Marion, Mitchell Park, Morphettville, Oaklands Park, Parkholme,
Plympton Park, South Plympton, and Sturt. Small numbers come from a range of other southern
suburbs. There is some indication that senior secondary students are more mobile than those in the
middle school, with a number coming from further south; in particular, Aberfoyle Park, Christies
Beach and Hallett Cove.
Page 2
Annual Report 2012
Adult students come from a much wider range of suburbs than do secondary students, although the
majority are from the southern suburbs. Some students come from other parts of the metropolitan
area, plus from regional areas, such is their interest and commitment.
In 2012, students with Negotiated Education Plans made up a total of 115 individuals, with 37 in the
Disability Unit, 41 in the 8-10 Campus, and 37 in the SACE Campus. These numbers under-state
the true breadth of students with special learning needs. Some adult students are at Hamilton
because of previous unsuccessful secondary school experiences, including special learning needs that
may not have been identified previously via the NEP process. Many adults are sensitive about being
identified as having special learning needs.
A challenge for the College is to ensure that students are placed into courses of study that will
enable appropriate recognition of skills and learning support. Primary school data (including
NAPLaN) indicates that a number of students enter our College with relatively low levels of
achievement; some have significant special learning needs and others present with a range of
behavioural concerns.
School Card data shows a relatively high (and increasing) proportion of recipients in both the
secondary and adult cohorts. In 2012 more than 60% of students were School Card recipients. This
percentage has increased steadily over the past four years.
Nationality data indicates that most students come from Anglo-Australian families. Significant
numbers also come from Afghanistan, Bosnia, China, Congo, England, Germany, Greece, India,
Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Sudan, Poland,
Vietnam and Thailand. A wide range of other countries are also represented, including an increasing
number from African countries. The adult campus, in particular, contains significant numbers of
students from many overseas locations.
English as a Second Language numbers show relatively small (but increasing) numbers with adults
(especially women) comprising 55, with another 29 in the 8-10 Campus and an additional 22 in the
SACE Campus.
In 2012 there was a small increase in the number of ATSI students, particularly in the 8-10 Campus.
Adult ATSI enrolments were 15, with another 15 in the 8-10 Campus and 10 in the SACE Campus.
The 2011 Site Review provided an impetus to improve the monitoring and support of ATSI students
and, in 2012, this saw the expansion of a mentoring program and the formation of an ATSI student
group accessing pastoral care from a newly conceived Nunga Room.

Student Achievement
“B or Better” Benchmarking
During 2012 the College continued its focus on measuring the extent to which students were
fulfilling their potential by analyzing internal reports against a “B or Better” benchmark.
This graph shows a 2011 – 2012 comparison of the percentage of A and B grades by year level. The
results show that all year levels performed better in 2012 than their 2011 counterparts.
There were two main reasons for this improvement.
1.
Teachers and students worked together to ensure the completion of all summative assessment
tasks. (After-school detention sessions were held for secondary students who could not comply
with the assignment submission dates.)
2.
Teachers worked on the assessment design of tasks; in particular, ensuring that all students
understood the assessment criteria and had a clear understanding of what to do in order to be
successful. (Assessment rubrics are becoming more widespread and universal in their use.)
It is worth noting that 2012 was the first year that students and parents could access Assessment
Plans, Assessment Tasks and Homework through the Day Map Learner Management System.
Further reflections:
• Whilst teachers are clear about SACE performance standards at Years 11 and 12, are they as
clear about what constitutes an A or B at Years 8 – 10?
The implementation of the National Curriculum is assisting our teachers to work more closely with each
other to ensure rigour is consistently applied in the setting of learning tasks. Internal moderation panels
– planned for the end of each semester - will support with the validation of assessment standards.
•
Are all Year 10 students counseled into an appropriate Year 11 course? Likewise, are all Year
11 students (and adult re-entry students) counseled into an appropriate Year 12 course?
During 2012 the course counseling process was adjusted by the Assistant Principal; SACE Campus. The
implications of these changes will be closely monitored during 2013, and adjustments made as
necessary. The implementation of a coherent 8-12 Careers Development program will be supportive of
improved practice in this regard.
Page 7
Annual Report 2012
Recommendations for 2013:
• That the 4 Rs – Rigour, Requirements, Relevance and Reflection – be explicit in the design of all
Assessment Tasks and clearly evident in the way teachers work in partnership with their
students on the learning process.
• That all year levels and curriculum areas practice internal grade clarification and moderation
exercises to validate the consistency of teacher judgment.
Targets for 2013:
• All year levels achieve at least a 45% average for grades in the A and B range. For this to
happen, Year 11 and 12 students will have to be better performed.
• Years 8 – 10 achieve at least a 60% average for grades in the A and B range.

Annual Report 2012
NAPLaN Results
With regards to NAPLaN data, the three graphs that we take particular interest in are:
1.
Comparative Mean Scores (2009 – 2012)
2.
Percentage of Students Achieving Minimum National Standards (Comparison 2009 – 2012)
3.
Proficiency Band increase from Year 7 to Year 9.
1. Comparative Mean Scores 2009 to 2012
It must be remembered that in any comparison from one year to the next we are comparing
different cohorts of students and different tests. With this point understood, students in Year 9 at
Hamilton during 2009 – 2012 have consistently under-performed in the Writing Section of the
Page 9
Annual Report 2012
NAPLaN test. Compared to the Reading Section, for example, students scored between 11- 32
points worse in the Writing Section during this four year period. In 2011 and 2012 the Writing
Section of NAPLaN has examined the persuasive writing genre and this increased emphasis on
thinking and complexity of grammar and style has contributed to the downward trend in this area.
Needless to say, the 2012 result for the Writing Section in the NAPLaN was a real disappointment
for teaching staff. On the back of Stepping Out training for all teaching staff during 2010 - 2011, and
on the understanding that all curriculum areas in 2012 were promoting the importance of explicit
teaching of writing skills, the Year 9 NAPLaN results did not reward teachers and students for their
efforts.
The 2013 revision to the 2012 – 2014 College Improvement Plan specifically targets improvement
across writing genres with emphasis being placed on the explicit teaching of literacy assessment
criteria.
2. At or Above National Minimum Standards (2010 to 2012)
A 2010 to 2012 comparison of the percentage of Hamilton students above minimum standards
shows a downward trend that is of great concern.
-11%
• Numeracy
-12.3%
• Reading
-13.8%
• Writing
-3.4%
• Grammar
-5%
• Spelling
Page 10
Annual Report 2012
The downward trend is clearly most noticeable in relation to Numeracy, Reading and Writing.
Whilst we had been concerned about Writing for some time, our Numeracy and Reading had been
holding quite well. The 2012 results show a dramatic drop that can not entirely be explained by the
literacy and numeracy levels this cohort of students presented upon entry into the College as Year 8
students in 2011. The appointment of a Numeracy Coach and a clear emphasis on both Literacy and
Numeracy in staff Professional Learning Communities will provide some traction.
3. Proficiency Band Increases from Year 7 to Year 9 (2012)
The importance of this graph is to remind ourselves that the majority of students starting their
secondary schooling at Hamilton are well behind the state and national average as evidenced by their
Year 7 NAPLaN scores.
The graph above, shows the extent to which we are progressing student development, on average,
between Year 7 and Year 9.
+80% of a proficiency band
• Numeracy
+49% of a proficiency band
• Reading
+32% of a proficiency band
• Writing
+76% of a proficiency band
• Grammar
+79% of a proficiency band
• Spelling
This graph is encouraging because it indicates the value our teaching program is adding to student
capacity with regards to both Literacy and Numeracy. This has really helped staff maintain their
enthusiasm for continuous improvement in the face of underwhelming 2012 NAPLaN results. They
can see they are making a real difference, despite the College results being “below average”.
The 2012 Numeracy proficiency band increase of 80% is compelling when examined against the
10.8% decrease in the percentage of students who were above minimum standard from 2011 to
2012. The starting point for our students with regards to numeracy must have been incredibly low
on average, given an 80% proficiency band increase still left us well short of the mid-80% range (2010
& 2011) of percentage of students who were above minimum standard in numeracy. This low level
of numeracy at entry to secondary school is presenting as a trend with the 2012 and 2013 Year 8
cohorts and has forced a re-think of our junior secondary Mathematics program.
Page 11
Annual Report 2012
Recommendations for 2013 (sample only – see Literacy/Numeracy Plan for more detail):
• All Professional Learning Communities focus on the explicit teaching of Literacy and Numeracy
assessment criteria.
• Reading About Virtually Everything (RAVE) to continue but with increased input from faculty
leaders so that students are reading curriculum-specific materials where possible. This may also
include teacher production of oral reading and comprehension activities. Chronic non-readers to
be identified and an alternative program of reading assistance to be implemented.
• At least one Writing type activity to be included on the assessment plan, taught and assessed
each term Year 8 – 10. (Writing type to be that which is most suitable for each learning area).
Targets for 2013:
• That there is a trend increase in the percentage of students attaining the National Minimum
Standard in all aspects of Literacy and Numeracy.
• That Hamilton’s students exceed the national average percentage of students within the top
quartile growth rates in both Reading and Numeracy from years 7 to 9.
• That there is a proficiency band increase of at least 50% in Writing.

Annual Report 2012
SACE Results
Senior Secondary
2012 was the second time that there were Year 12 results as part of the new SACE. Consequently,
the only longitudinal comparison that can be made is between 2011 and 2012.
For the first time in a decade, Year 12 students at Hamilton accumulated more A and B grades than
the previous year’s cohort. It was also the first time in this same period that we have been able to
dramatically reduce the number of E grades.
Some of the reasons for these two key positive trends were:
• an emphasis on quality assessment plans
• explicit teaching of assessment criteria
• more students placed in an appropriate course
• greater % of assignments completed
• stronger interventions made by the SACE Campus management team.
There is also a commonly held view that the Class of 2012 had shown a greater capacity for success
all through their secondary schooling than their predecessors, the Class of 2011. The College’s
Executive will continue monitor the progress of the Class of 2013 to better appreciate as to
whether these trends are actually system improvements or cohort dependent.
Recommendation:
That the SACE teachers continue to explicitly teach the assessment criteria and expect all students
to complete all summative assessment work to the best of their abilities.
Targets:
That the 2013 SACE Stage 2 results for Hamilton Secondary College show a continuation of the
2012 positive trend.
• At least 15% of grades are in the A grade range
• At least 35% of grades are in the B grade range
• Even fewer E grades (closer to 0%).
Page 13
Annual Report 2012
Stage 2 Grades: Comparison with State Average
Although we noted our own improvement from 2011 to 2012, the bell curves for Hamilton and the
State continue to show the same trends that have been consistent for the past decade or more.
• Hamilton has too many E and D grades compared to the State average.
• Hamilton has too few A and B grade compared to the State average.
Page 14
Annual Report 2012
This is a very encouraging data set. The Stage 1 SACE data shows the immediate impact of having
the majority of our adult students experiencing general SACE curriculum. This is reflected in an
almost doubling of the number of A grades but, at the other end of the spectrum, a slight increase in
the number of N results (although is still well below the State average).
SACE Stage 1 Grades: Comparison with State Average
As this graph shows, the inclusion of our adult students in the data sample means that, for the first
time in a decade or more, Hamilton has had a higher % of A grades. This is both a reflection of the
capacity of our adult students to do their very best, and of their teachers to use SACE flexibilities –
particularly the Integrated Studies framework – to maximise student success.
It is unclear whether these pleasing Stage 1 results will translate into improved Stage 2 results in
2013 but it will be something we monitor closely.
Page 15
Annual Report 2012
Whilst an 87% SACE completion rate for 2012 is not as high as we would have liked, it is a 5%
improvement on 2011. This may well be a reflection of the student cohort but may also be directly
related to staff pushing harder for completion of all summative assessment tasks. We are still behind
the State average but have narrowed the gap from 9% to 5%.
Page 16
Annual Report 2012
An issue that faces us at Hamilton is the prevailing community view that the College should provide
a positive school-to-work transition ahead of SACE completion. This view dates back to the
Mitchell Park Technical High School days when the whole focus of the school was to get students a
trade.
During 2013 the College will continue to pursue its “Future of Work” agenda (3rd priority in the
2012 – 2014 College Improvement Plan) which pushes the inter-relationship between:
• Work Enabling – Students develop 21st C learning skills, processes and understanding that transfer
seamlessly into the current and future work-place. More and more, these will be demonstrated through
Project-based, Problem-oriented and e-Learning contexts.
• Work Relevance – Students work in simulated and/or real work-place environment and use a range of
up-to-date technologies to undertake tasks and perform roles that have a real connectedness to what is
known about current and future work skills, processes and practices.
• Work Networks – Curriculum orientation and post-school destination partnerships exist with a range of
businesses, industries, agencies and training and tertiary providers. These are supportive of increasing our
teachers’ capacity to deliver on the Work Enabling and Work Relevance strands of this strategy, but also
create a real bridge for students making a school-to-work transition.
Registered Training Organisation (VET Results)
Hamilton Secondary College is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) which provides secondary
and adult students with access to 12 qualifications with levels ranging from Certificate I level up to
Diploma and Advanced Diploma.
This graph compares enrolments and completions in the certificates offered by the Registered
Training Organisation arm of our business over a five year period: 2008 – 2012.

The 2012 data was disappointing. For the first time since 2009 the RTO did not show an
improvement in its % of Certificate completions. The main reason for this was a change to the
Page 17
Annual Report 2012
funding conditions for Adult enrolments and an increase in the number of 15-17 year olds, some of
whom did not cope with a competency-based assessment system. To some extent, these issues
have been addressed for 2013, and the College’s RTO Executive will monitor progress closely.
The graph comparing the College’s results with the State Average for Certificate completion shows
that Hamilton is higher than the State for Certificates 2, 3 and 4, but lower in Certificate 1. These
trends are consistent and to be expected for any school that operates a low risk Registered Training
Organisation. (It is worth noting that we also have approximately 90% of our 45 Film School
students complete either a Diploma or Advanced Diploma qualification annually, not shown in this
graph.)
With the introduction of the SA Government’s “Skills for All” initiative, there is potential for the
RTO arm of our business to grow. Hamilton Secondary College has the capacity to be a regional
hub for VET curriculum but, in our view, other schools in the region are still coming to terms with
the best way to provide the much needed balance between academic and vocational curriculum
offerings. Nevertheless, with the implementation of the National curriculum, our Inner South
Secondary cluster schools are discussing changes to Timetabling practices that could also see a
commitment to a VET day (or similar) that is more supportive of regional VET programs.
Recommendation:
That VET trainers continue to explore inclusive methodologies that enable those groups who have
historically had lesser rates of success than our other VET students – e.g., some secondary students
and some adults with low rates of literacy and numeracy – to gain completion.
Targets:
That the 2013 VET completion rates for the RTO arm of the Hamilton Secondary College business
return to 2010 and 2011 numbers – e.g., 70% (which means an improvement of 10%).
Destination
Congratulations to the Class of 2012 for their efforts and achievements. Amongst those celebrating
some truly outstanding Year 12 results are:
• Ben Amberg (Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking = 99.95/100) – Bachelor of Clinical Studies
• Sitansu Sekhar (Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking = 99.7/100) – Bachelor of Engineering
(double degree in the Mechanical and Biomedical fields)
• Hugh Pike (Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking = 97.05/100) – Bachelor of Arts (Enhanced
Program for High Achievers)
• Kate O’Brien (Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking = 92.35/100) – Bachelor of Journalism &
Arts (Writing)
Page 18
Annual Report 2012
•
•
Adam Storey (Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking = 91.5/100) – Bachelor of Engineering
(Mechanical)
Kellie Stockham-Vasey (Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking = 89.95/100) – Bachelor of
Journalism & International Relations.
This graph shows the Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR) distribution for the Class of
2012. The result frequency in the 90-100 band is similar to previous years but having two scores
above 99/100 is a first for the College. There is a rather large tail displayed in the graph that shows
20 students receiving an ATAR of 49 or less. In previous years, a score of this kind would not give
access to a university course but, such is the tertiary sectors’ need to fill places, some of our
students accessed a course with ATARs in the mid 40s.
As with our quest for a reduction in D and E grades at Stage 2, we want to see a decrease in the
number of students receiving an ATAR in the 49 or less range, understanding, of course, that such
scores reduce the number of options for these students.
The graph below shows our internal data for the destination of Year 12 students. It reflects the
equal importance we place on students either finding meaningful full-time employment or going on
to further study (i.e., university, TAFE or Year 13).
There are more than anticipated students listed as “unknown” or “seeking employment” but our
Careers Advisor, who is responsible for compiling this data, has indicated that during January 2013 a
Page 19
Annual Report 2012
higher than normal proportion of students could not be contacted (change of address / phone
number, loss of mobile telephone credits, not responding to emails etc.).
Other Student Data Sets
Attendance
The graph above captures attendance data from the DECD EDSAS system and compares it with the
State Average. The graph below, we believe, is more accurate data, as it is taken directly from the
Reporting to Parents data warehouse - Accelerus – in our Learner Management System, Day Map.
This understanding indicates that there may be a flaw in the way the script is written for interpreting
Day Map data for EDSAS, and this may be a concern for some or all of the approximately 50 DECD
schools using Day Map.
Our 2012 internal data showed an overall improvement in student attendance rates in Years 8 -11,
but our absence rates are still too high. Whilst anecdotal evidence suggests that it is a handful of
students at each year level with chronic absence problems, there is still a culture evident amongst
some students’ families that reflect a low importance on schooling. We have waged a concerted
campaign on this matter, and expect to see this bear fruit over the next couple of years.
In 2012 our internal attendance data indicates that we had an overall attendance rate of 83.1%.
Page 20
Annual Report 2012
In 2012, the DECD State Average was 87%. Since the State is seeking a 6% improvement in 2013 to
take the overall attendance rate to 93%, Hamilton will seek a similar 6% improvement that will see
us at around 89%.
Recommendation:
That attendance data is monitored weekly and that “chronic non-attenders” are case managed
through 8-10 and SACE Campus STAR groups.
Target:
That Hamilton improves its overall attendance rate by 6% in 2013.
Student Behaviour and Bullying and Harassment
The graph below shows, in gender terms, the relative frequency of incidents that invoked an internal
suspension, an external suspension or an exclusion from the College’s Administration Team.
The trend continues to be that male students offend more frequently than female students on a ratio
of 4:1. This ratio remains unchanged when examined through the lens of bullying and harassment
data (suspension categories of violence, threatening the good order of the school and threatening
the safety or well-being of a student or staff member).
The fact that for every five serious behavioral incidents in the College, one is some kind of
harassment or bullying, is a concern to the College Executive Team.
Page 21
Annual Report 2012
Recommendations:
• That the Pastoral Care and Year Level Management systems continue to explicitly teach
strategies that reduce incidents of bullying and harassment.
• That the 8-10 and SACE Campus STAR groups continue to monitor frequency and type of
incident, and adjust responses.
Targets:
• Reduce the frequency of bullying and harassment infractions from 21% to 15%.
