Student attendance data is reported in line with the National Standards for Student Attendance Data Reporting 2015 which specify the following standards:
The numbers enrolled at any time during Semester 1 are not the same as the enrolment data collected at the Student Census in February and August each year.
Attendance risk categories are as reported by the Department of Education for Western Australian public schools only.
Percentages of students in attendance risk categories may be volatile for schools with small student populations.
