Data notes

  • Data is collected mid-year (census date: first Friday in August) from NSW government schools as per National Schools Statistics Collection (NSCC).

  • All primary school students are considered to be full-time.

  • 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.

  • In most scholastic years there are a small number of students in atypical age groups. 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. See the relevant tables in the Statistical Bulletin for more details.
