NSW government school enrolments by head count (2004-2018)

This dataset shows the student headcount for each individual NSW government school since 2004.

Data Notes:

National Schools Statistics Collection (NSSC) enrolments collected as at the first Friday in August every year.
All NSSC enrolments are headcount figures for NSW government schools only.
Where a school had 5 or fewer students, the figure has been suppressed. A null figure indicates no enrolments were collected for NSSC in the given calendar year.
