Full-time equivalent enrolments at SA Government schools from 2012 by school type, collected as part of the annual enrolment data collection in Term 3.

SA Government school size by number of students enrolled from 2012, collected as part of the annual enrolment data collection in Term 3.

The data is collected from all Government schools as part of the administration of student absences. Attendance rate is calculated on the number of actual full-time equivalent student-days attended by students in Years 1 to 10 as a percentage of the total number of possible student-days attended over semester 1. Please note: This definition differs for the data published by ACARA on the 'My School' website where attendance is calculated for Year 1 to Year 10 over the full school year.

This dataset shows the attendance rates for all NSW government schools in Semester One by alphabetical order. Data Notes: 2021 data is not comparable to previous years due to the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes to calculation rules to align with ACARA’s national standards (version 3) and changes to the way attendance data is transferred into the department’s centralised data warehouse. Please refer to 2021 Semester 1 student attendance factsheet for more information. 2020 data is not provided because students were encouraged to learn from home for several weeks in Semester 1. Please refer to the factsheet on The effects of COVID-19 on attendance during Semester 1 2020 for more information. In 2018 NSW government schools implemented the national standards for student attendance data reporting. This resulted in a fall in attendance rates for most schools due to the inclusion of part day absences and accounting for student mobility in the calculation. Data from 2018 onwards is not comparable with earlier years. Schools for Specific Purposes (SSPs) are only included from 2021. Prior to this SSP attendance data was not collected centrally. The attendance rate is defined as the number of actual full-time equivalent student days attended by full-time students in Years 1–10 as a percentage of the total number of possible student-days attended in Semester 1. Figures are aligned with the National Report on Schooling and the My School website. Data is suppressed "sp" for schools where student numbers are below the reporting threshold. Data is not available "na" for senior secondary schools or other schools where no students were enrolled in Years 1-10. Blank cells indicate no students were enrolled at the school that census year or the school was out of scope for attendance reporting.

Data source Semester 1 Return of Absences Collection Data quality statement The Attendance Data Quality Statement addresses the quality of the Attendance dataset using the dimensions outlined in the NSW Department of Education's data quality management framework: institutional environment, relevance, timeliness, accuracy, coherence, interpretability and accessibility. It provides an overview of the dataset's quality and highlights any known data quality issues.

This dataset includes the number of enrolments in NSW government schools from 1848 to 2023. Data Notes: Since 1993, some students have enrolled part-time. All enrolments are reported in full-time equivalent (FTE) units and include full-time and part-time students. Student enrolments are rounded to the nearest whole number. From 1881 to 1907, primary enrolments relate to students undertaking ordinary public school courses. However, post-primary pupils in superior public schools are included in the primary figures. Primary correspondence school (later distance education centres) pupils are also included from 1938, and the school of the air pupils from 1976. From 1938, post-primary enrolments relate to student undertaking post-primary courses in high, intermediate high, district, junior high, central, superior public schools and correspondence school (later distance education centres). Pupils undertaking post- primary courses in small primary schools are also included. Evening continuation school pupils are not included. For the period from 1881 to 1907 it has not been possible to isolate the number of post-primary pupils in superior public schools and consequently they are included under primary enrolments. This is the reason for the large jump in post-primary enrolments in 1908. From 1962 to 1983, all pupils in special schools or classes (except those in some community care schools who were not counted until 1981) are included as appropriate in the primary or post-primary figures and in the total. Since 1984, students in Schools for Special Purposes have been counted separately. Prior to 1962 it was difficult to ascertain if these pupils are included. Children in hospital schools and schools for the physically and intellectually disabled are sometimes included in the primary figures during the late 1950s, but physically and intellectually disabled children in special classes in ordinary schools are included from the late 1940s. The enrolment figures between 1848 to 1918 are for the December quarter, with those for 1848 to 1851 and 1866 being estimates. From 1919 the annual census figures are used resulting in a sharp drop in primary and rise in post-primary enrolments in 1919. Pupils from the ACT are included until 1973, at which date they numbered 30,457. Data source: Schools and Students: Statistical Bulletin. Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation.
