Definition
Metadata for IAC0428 tables containing data for calendar years 2014 to 2022.
-
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 number of LBOTE students enrolled in SSPs are not broken down for each SA4 grouping. These students are, however, included in the Totals for each SA4 Group.
-
Primary students in mainstream support classes are included in Year 3 to 6.
-
Secondary students in mainstream support classes are included in Year 7 to 10.
-
As of 2022, Norfolk Island (previously included in NSW total) is no longer under the jurisdiction of NSW, and therefore not included in the figures.
For more detailed analysis of students of language background other than English, please refer to Schools: Language Diversity in NSW.
Changes from previous years:
- Historical publications of the Statistical Bulletin compared enrolments in individual ASGS Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4) geographic boundaries. Since 2014, groups of SA4 boundaries in New South Wales have been combined into 11 groups for reporting and publication of department data.
