Attendance data is based on Semester 1. In responding to the threat of COVID-19, there were some isolation requirements during this time to help keep Western Australian students, staff and communities safe. As to be expected, the 2022 attendance rate was also affected by COVID-19 infections and quarantine requirements during the reporting period.
