    The class size audit is conducted in all NSW government primary, infant and central (primary grades only) schools in March each year. **Notes:** * Class size audits were not conducted in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. * Students attending schools for specific purposes (SSPs), students in support classes in regular schools and distance education students are excluded from average class size calculations. * The average class size for each year level is calculated from regular and multi-age classes that contain a student from that year level. This can result in a lower K-6 average class size than any individual year level. **Data Source:** * [Schools and Students: 2015 Statistical Bulletin](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au/images/stories/PDF/2015_Statistical_Bulletin_v8.pdf"Schools and Students: 2015 Statistical Bulletin").
