Enrolments in primary departments and secondary departments are included with the appropriate student data. * Schools for specific purposes (SSPs) are for students with specific needs. Most SSPs have permanent enrolments and include schools for students with intellectual (mild, moderate and severe) and physical disabilities, visual or hearing impairment, behaviour disorders or emotional disturbance, and students in juvenile justice centres. Some SSPs have no permanent enrolments because the children temporarily attending them are enrolled and counted in their own schools. These are mainly hospital schools. **Data Source:** * [Schools and Students: Statistical Bulletin](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au/publications-filter/schools-and-students-2019 "Schools and Students: 2019 Statistical Bulletin").
