These are figures for the suburb, not for Camden council as a whole. The bureau adjusts small counts for privacy, so we never add published parts together to build a total of our own. Signature project ## Reranking 28 answers to "schools in Camden" Stage one is a cheap retriever: keep every school whose name, suburb or council contains "camden". Stage two reranks those candidates and is judged on one number: how many of the top four have a Camden address. | Order | Rule | Camden addresses in top 4 | | --- | --- | --- | | File order | As the rows appear in the dataset | 2 of 4 | | Alphabetical | By school name | 1 of 4 | | Distance | Nearest to the centre of the bureau's Camden boundary | 2 of 4 | | Field scores | Address suburb 3 points, name starts with Camden 2, council 1 | 4 of 4 | | Fields, then distance | Field score first, distance breaks ties | 4 of 4 | | School | Why it matched | Distance from Camden | | --- | --- | --- | | Camdenville Public School | Name contains "camden"; address Newtown, Inner West council | 47.5 kilometres | | Camden Haven High School | Name contains "camden"; address Laurieton, Port Macquarie-Hastings council | 329.6 kilometres | | Mount Hunter Public School | Address suburb Camden, but Wollondilly council | 5.57 kilometres | | Camden High School | Address suburb Camden, Camden council | 2.88 kilometres | ### Distance is not enough Ordered by distance alone, schools in Elderslie, Narellan and Spring Farm come before Camden High School, which is only seventh. Being near is not the same as being in. ### Substrings mislead A match on "camden" inside Camdenville or Camden Haven looks perfect to a keyword search. The reranker has to read the address field, not the name. ### Definitions matter Mount Hunter Public School gives Camden as its address suburb yet sits in Wollondilly council. Whether it counts depends on the question, and the program has to say which. ### The same two stages inside AI search Tools that let a chatbot answer from documents fetch many passages quickly, then rerank them with a slower, more careful scorer before the model reads the top few. In this project the careful scorer is a function a teenager can write: `sorted(rows, key=lambda r: (-field_score(r), r['km']))`. School names, suburbs, councils and coordinates come from the NSW Department of Education's school locations file; the distances, scores and rankings are our own calculation. Measuring a ranking ## How learners score their search A ranking is only as good as the measure used to judge it, so the project ends with evaluation. | Step | What the learner writes | Camden result | | --- | --- | --- | | Fix the truth | A list of the right answers, decided before ranking | Four schools with a Camden address | | Precision at 4 | Right answers in the top four, divided by four | Field scores reach 4 of 4 | | Precision at 8 | The same over the top eight | Distance and alphabetical both reach 3 | | Error review | Read every wrong result and name why it ranked high | Camdenville and Camden Haven fall to the bottom | ### Children Sort a deck of cards three different ways and decide which order puts the right cards on top. ### Teenagers Write the field scorer, measure precision and explain each mistake in a sentence. ### Adults Apply the same two stages to documents at work and judge a chatbot's retrieval rather than trusting it. The NSW Department of Education publishes the school locations file and is not connected with Modern Age Coders. Schools and the school year ## Four schools with a Camden address The state school list gives the year each school had its first teacher. Camden Public School's date, 1849, is the earliest of all 28 candidates in the search project. | School | Level | First teacher | Council | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Camden Public School | Primary | 1849 | Camden | | Mount Hunter Public School | Primary | 1859 | Wollondilly | | Camden South Public School | Primary | 1961 | Camden | | Camden High School | Secondary | 1961 | Camden | ### Autumn break 2027 Camden schools, in the Eastern division, break from Monday 12 April to Friday 23 April 2027. ### Term 2 2027 Students return on Thursday 29 April and the term ends on Friday 2 July. ### Holiday weeks Our Camden groups stop for the NSW holidays too, and pick up again on the usual day once school is back.

[Data Science Course](/courses/data-science-complete-masterclass-college)[Statistics & Probability](/courses/statistics-probability-maths-course)Coding and AI ## Why reranking matters when a chatbot answers A chatbot that searches first can only be as right as the passages it reads. If the search step ranks Camdenville or Camden Haven near the top, the model will happily describe a Newtown or Laurieton school as being in Camden, fluently and with no warning. The mistake happens before the AI writes a word. Learners who have built a reranker know to ask what was retrieved, how it was ordered and how the ordering was measured. Those are the questions that catch the error. In 2026 every Camden learner will use AI search; the ones who can build and measure a small one will know when to trust it. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Live lessons for Camden learners at home Everything happens on live video, so there is no travel into or out of Camden. ### Watched as it is written Every program is typed during the class with the teacher following the learner's screen. ### Speaking the NSW language Teachers refer to Stages and Years the way Camden schools do, so progress is easy to place. ### A first lesson on us The opening class costs nothing; afterwards the teacher proposes where to start and when. ### Matched classmates A group holds fifteen to twenty people working at the same stage; one-to-one is there for anyone who wants it. ### Same slot each week Classes run twice weekly, close to eight in a month, and any gaps are announced well in advance. ### Teachers in India A 5pm Camden lesson is 11:30am India time under Sydney summer time and 12:30pm outside it. Daylight saving Sydney is on daylight saving from Sunday 4 October 2026 to Sunday 4 April 2027, and India does not change its clocks, so the difference shifts between 5 hours 30 minutes and 4 hours 30 minutes. Lesson times are always set in Sydney time. Fees ## Camden lesson fees One price list covers every subject, from Scratch to machine learning. First class**USD 0** The first lesson is free and ends with a recommended course and timetable. Group tuition**USD 100** Two lessons a week, around eight a month, in a group of fifteen to twenty learners at one level.

The 2021 Census QuickStats for the Camden suburb and locality counted 3,378 residents, median age 43, in 846 families and 1,434 private dwellings. The council area is much larger. ### What is reranking in AI search? It is the second stage of a search: a quick retriever gathers many possible results, then a more careful scorer reorders them so the most relevant come first, before a person or a chatbot reads them. ### What does the Camden project measure? How many of the top four results for "schools in Camden" really have a Camden address. File order and distance manage 2 of 4; scoring the address, name and council fields reaches 4 of 4. ### Why did Camdenville Public School match? Its name contains the letters "camden", so a keyword search finds it, but its address is Newtown in the Inner West, about 47.5 kilometres away. A good reranker pushes it to the bottom. ### Which schools have a Camden address? The NSW Department of Education lists Camden Public School, Camden South Public School, Camden High School and Mount Hunter Public School; Mount Hunter sits in Wollondilly council. ### What age can my child start? Scratch suits children from six. Projects like this one, with sorting keys and scoring functions, usually start around 13. ### What equipment is needed at home? Any computer with a keyboard that can run a browser, a headset or speakers with a mic, and steady broadband. Phones and tablets make typing code slow. ### Do you run classes in Camden itself? No. We teach only online and have no premises anywhere in Australia, including Camden. Our contact phone number is an Indian number. ### How much do Camden lessons cost? The first lesson is free. A group place is USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners; one-to-one is USD 150 a month on the same plan. Nothing is charged before a course and time are agreed. ### How big are the groups? Fifteen to twenty learners, grouped by level and goals rather than age. If no group fits the learner's schedule, one-to-one lessons are offered instead.
