Background

The Department currently conducts a student census at the beginning of each semester. Census is the broad term used for the coordinated collection of various data at a particular point in time. The census data includes details and statistics related to public and independent public schools, students and staff with school and student data gained from private schools.

The first semester collection is held at the end of the second full week of Term 1 and the mid-year census is held on the first Friday in August.

The two collections are held to provide essential data for the monitoring and provision of educational programs, services and various related activities within the State.
