Adolescent Community Profiles
The Adolescent Community Profiles were launched by Minister Peter Hall on Friday, 13th May 2011. The series of Adolescent Community Profiles draw on data on outcomes for children compiled through the Victorian Child and Adolescent Systems (VCAMS). These profiles provide local level information on the health, learning, development, safety and wellbeing of adolescents aged to 10 to 17 years.

The profiles are shown by local government areas. The Brimbank and Melton reports can be downloaded separately.
Why do we encourage all young people to successfully complete Year 12?
Our Task: Breaking The Cycle – this diagram shows the (statistical) links between not completing Year 12 and undesirable outcomes for the individual, his/her family and the community.
What’s in it for me? – the slides in the powerpoint format include ideas and data you may use to encourage young people to not only stay at school but to also aim for further education and training.
Statistics
Academic data (VCE, VET, VCAL) plus On Track Statistics for Brimbank and Melton Schools
The following table is a combination of data published in December in newspapers – showing numbers and completion rates for VCE, VET and VCAL students – and the ‘On Track’ destinations for the same students (published in June the following year), i.e. The 2010 Year 12 students had their academic results published December 2010, and where they have gone to after leaving school was published in June 2011.
The data shows how the outcomes have changed in each school over the years shown.
