The student enrolment projections below were produced after the Semester 2, 2016 student census. They are revised after each biannual student census. Actual enrolments will differ from the projections.
The projections are based on historical enrolment trends and the Department of Treasury’s Western Australian population projections. The projections have been rounded to the nearest 10 students and are used for broad planning purposes.
The projections for primary comprise students in Kindergarten to Year 6, and secondary comprises full-time Year 7 to Year 12 and ungraded secondary students.
