Enrolment Numbers by Scholastic Year

• This column chart displays enrolment numbers at a school by scholastic and calendar year. For each scholastic year, e.g. Year 7, the number of students in each of the last six calendar years is shown.

Use the following slicers to filter and analyse the data:

• Executive Director Group
• Network
• School
• School Type
• Gender
• Aboriginal - The term Aboriginal used in this data set refers to and includes both Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In NSW the preferred term is Aboriginal, rather than Indigenous or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
• Delivery Method
• Enrolment Type - This slicer provides information on special enrolment types, for example, Intensive English, Disability, Opportunity Class, etc. As this field is optional for schools, many schools will not have any data when this slicer is selected. The same category may be used in different ways by different schools to support their data collection.
