(a) (i) - (iv) Please refer to Tabled Paper. Note that the Community Kindergartens and Camp Schools are not included.
In providing this response, "South West Region" has been taken to refer to the South West Electoral Region, not the South West Education Region.
Student numbers are derived from attendance data over the period of Semester 1 and may vary from the official student numbers taken as a snapshot for the student census at the start of the semester.
Current students are those who were enrolled in the school on the last day of Semester 1.
Former students are those who were in enrolled in the school at any time during Semester 1, but were no longer enrolled on the last day of Semester 1.  In line with the national attendance reporting standard, former students were not included in the Semester 1 attendance data until 2013.
