a) - b)
The Student Census does not capture infrastructure information. Refer to Legislative Assembly Question on Notice 65 for the 2025 transportable audit information. Information for the 2026 year is not yet available.
Transportable structures include transportable classrooms, demountable classrooms, and non-teaching facilities such as canteens, administrations, libraries, bathrooms, toilets and sheds.
