About On Track Survey On Track is a large-scale survey designed to monitor the destination outcomes of Year 12 or equivalent completers and early school leavers six months after leaving school. This information provides insights into post-school destinations and pathways, and highlights the diversity of pathways young people pursue after leaving secondary school. The On Track survey involves students from all Victorian school sectors. Data obtained through the On Track survey is used to publish post-school education, training and employment destinations. Those not studying or in part-time work are offered career pathway advice and assistance via a referral service. This LGA report provides local level information on the post-school education, training and employment destinations of students who attended schools in Strathbogie, to support post compulsory education planning and to assist with youth support services. The report draws on data obtained through the 2015 On Track survey. Some data presented has not been released due to the small numbers of respondents. These data will either be presented as "np" (not published) or appear blank (in figures and charts) where the number of respondents are less than 5.
