The information is collected and reported from all Government schools in Victoria as part of the August school census. This data is used for funding and national reporting purposes. Please note that non-government schools provide August data directly to the Commonwealth for funding and national reporting purposes. The August school census is the only available source for this data across school sectors. The dataset shows the aggregated full-time equivalent of Government School students enrolled in Victoria who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, by Local Government Area (LGA) based on school location, per census year, from 2010. The data is based on the August School Census which is held on the first Friday in August of each calendar year. All Victorian schools provide details of enrolments twice each year. The first collection occurs in February and the data collected is used as a basis for Government school resource allocation. The second collection occurs in August and the data collected is used as a basis for school resource allocation and for inclusion in state and national statistical publications.

This dataset captures the diversity of students with a language background other than English (LBOTE) who are enrolled in NSW government schools. Data Notes: LBOTE students are those in whose home a language other than English is spoken by the student, parents, or other primary caregivers. LBOTE and total (headcount) enrolment figures are collected in March of each year. Most other collections use enrolment data that are collected as part of the Mid Year Census in August. The table is ordered by the largest language groups for language groups with 1000 or more students in the most recent year presented. Language groups with fewer than 1000 students are included in 'other language groups'. Indian and Chinese Languages are included as a combined total, and also as separate distinct languages. Therefore Indian and Chinese data appears twice in the table. Due to rounding issues, the total percentage for Indian and Chinese Language groups may be slightly different to the sum of the distinct languages. There can be minor changes in the categorization of less common languages and dialects over time. For example, these definitional variations account for the difference in the 2018 total as reported in the ‘Enrolments of LBOTE government school students by largest language groups’ table in the 2018 and 2019 LBOTE bulletins.

The data is based on government school students who were counted as part of the August School Census and were classified as having a language background other than English according to the national definition.

This dataset captures the diversity of students with a language background other than English (LBOTE) who are enrolled in NSW government preschools. Data Notes: LBOTE students are those in whose home a language other than English is spoken by the student, parents, or other primary caregivers. Preschools include all preschools attached to government primary/infant schools, Dubbo School of Distance Education, School of the Air and the John Brotchie Nursery School. Government funded community preschools and NSW Centre-Based services that provide a preschool program in NSW are not included. Students include children enrolled in a preschool or an Early Intervention program that is run by a NSW government school. These government preschool classes provide full-time or part-time schooling at pre-primary level. LBOTE enrolment figures are collected in March of each year. Most other collections use enrolment data that are collected as part of the Mid Year Census in August. Indian and Chinese Languages are included as a combined total, and also as separate distinct languages. Therefore Indian and Chinese data appears twice in the table. Due to rounding issues, the total percentage for Indian and Chinese Language groups may be slightly different to the sum of the distinct languages. ‘Other language groups’ includes languages with small enrolments. The total number of languages included in ‘Other language groups’ is specified in the notes at the bottom of the table. Data Source: Schools: Language Diversity in NSW
