I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(2)
This data is not held centrally. The Department of Education will be able to
draw this data from the student reporting system once all schools have
completed their semester 1 student reports. This data will be available early in
term 3, 2016. Once that information is available I will provide it to the
honourable member.
