Number of students achieving the Record of School Achievement (2012-2023)

In 2012, the School Certificate was discontinued and replaced by the Record of School Achievement (RSA). The RSA is a record of a student’s achievements from Year 10 until they leave school.

Data Notes:

Data shows the number of Year 10 students in NSW government schools that completed the mandatory courses for an RSA. However, some courses may have been completed when the students were in Year 7, 8 or 9.
Students need to complete the mandatory requirements for Stage 5 (Year 10) to be eligible for a RSA.
In 2023, the Total columns include non-binary students. These students are unable to be reported separately due to system limitations.
