Data Notes:

  • Data is collected mid-year (census date: first Friday in August) from NSW government schools as per National Schools Statistics Collection (NSSC).
  • From 2020, students in mainstream support classes are reported by their underlying grade of enrolment. Previously, students in support classes in mainstream schools were not included.
  • Students in schools for specific purposes (SSPs) are not included.
  • Students in distance education and opportunity classes (OC) are included with their appropriate grade levels. Intensive English Centre (IEC) students are included.
  • In most scholastic years there are a small number of students in atypical age groups. For students under 18 years, these have been included in the nearest band. This is indicated with an asterisk. As a result, the sum of each row may not equal the totals reported.
