These enrolment projections are based on actual enrolments at Semester 1, 2021.  The Department is yet to complete student enrolment projections for 2022. The Department of Education annually revises student enrolment projections for all public schools. Student projections are based on the Semester 1 census of actual student enrolments at each school and take into account student demand growth within the school’s local-intake area.
