Norfolk Island Central School was included in NSW data for the first time in 2016. It has not been designated an SA4 group, so is only included in the NSW total.
Changes from previous years:
- Since 2014, the department has used a geographical structure based on the ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). Groups of ASGS Statistical Area 4 (SA4) boundaries in NSW have been combined into 11 groups for reporting and publication of department data. Previous publications compared enrolments in individual SA4 areas.
