NSW government schools by type and SA4 groupings (2013-2023)

**Data Notes:**\r\n\r\n* Primary schools enrol students in Kindergarten to Year 6.\r\n\r\n* Secondary schools generally enrol students in Years 7 to 12, although some secondary schools only enrol students in the senior years, that is, Years 11 to 12 or the junior years, that is, Years 7 to 10.\r\n\r\n* Central/community schools have primary and secondary departments and may be established where there is an enrolment in secondary classes of 20 or more.\r\n\r\n* Alexandria Park Community School, Batlow Technology School, Dubbo School of Distance Education, Evans River Community School, Hunter School of Performing Arts, Lucas Heights Community School and Wadalba Community School are included with central/community schools.\r\n\r\n* 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.\r\n\r\n* Schools for specific purposes (SSPs) are for students with specific needs. \r\n\r\n* Environmental Education Centres (EECs) provide environmental education for students, but do not have full time enrolments. \r\n\r\n* Since 2014, the department has used a geographical structure based on the new 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 DEC regions. \r\n\r\n**Data Source:**\r\n\r\n* Schools and Students: Statistical Bulletin . Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation.\r\n

**数据说明：**
* 小学招录幼儿园（Kindergarten）至六年级（Year 6）的学生。
* 中学通常招录七年级（Year 7）至十二年级（Year 12）的学生，但部分中学仅招收高年级学生，即十一至十二年级（Year 11至Year 12），或低年级学生，即七至十年级（Year 7至Year 10）。
* 中央/社区学校设有小学部与中学部，此类学校一般在中学班级在册学生人数达到20人及以上时设立。
* 亚历山大公园社区学校、巴特洛技术学校、达博远程教育学校、埃文斯河社区学校、亨特表演艺术学校、卢卡斯高地社区学校以及瓦达尔巴社区学校均归类于中央/社区学校。
* 诺福克岛中央学校于2016年首次被纳入新南威尔士州（New South Wales, NSW）的数据统计范畴，该校未被划入统计区域4（Statistical Area 4, SA4）组别，因此仅被计入新南威尔士州的总数据中。
* 特定用途学校（Schools for Specific Purposes, SSPs）面向存在特殊需求的学生。
* 环境教育中心（Environmental Education Centres, EECs）可为学生提供环境教育，但无全日制在册学籍的学生。
* 自2014年起，该部门采用基于澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）新版澳大利亚统计地理标准（Australian Statistical Geography Standard, ASGS）的地理划分架构。新南威尔士州内的ASGS统计区域4（SA4）边界群组被整合为11个群组，用于部门数据的报告与发布。此前的出版物曾以DEC辖区作为维度对比在册学生人数。
