Definition

Metadata for IAC0444 tables containing data for calendar years 2011 to 2022. Each related table contains data for a specific calendar year.
 

  • Data is collected mid-year (census date: first Friday in August) from NSW government schools as per National Schools Statistics Collection (NSSC).
  • Data excludes support students.
  • Students in Years 11 or 12 can enrol to study as a part-time or full-time student. For the annual census, a part-time student is enrolled in less than 10 units, regardless of where those units are studied. All Kindergarten to Year 10 students are considered to be full-time.
  • 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.
  • Mature-age students’ data (18 years old and above) is not anonymised.
  • Tables for years 2015 and 2017 do not include columns for 'Year 11 Total' and 'Year 12 Total'

Student enrolments are generally reported in full-time equivalent units (FTE). The FTE for students studying less than 10 units, the minimum workload, is determined by the formula: 0.1 x the number of units studied and represented as a proportion of the full-time enrolment of 1.0 FTE.
