  • Updated description of Student attendance rate by Aboriginality and year level (2012-2018) from

    The attendance rate is defined as the number of actual full-time equivalent student days attended by full-time school students in Years 1–10 as a percentage of the total number of possible student-days attended. **Data Notes:** * Attendance data for NSW government schools only. The attendance rate is calculated as (1 minus absences divided by enrolled days) multiplied by 100. * This data includes the student attendance rate for semester 1, semester 2 and the full year. * Kindergarten, Year 11, Year 12 and ungraded (support) students have been excluded in the attendance rates. Distance education and Schools for Special Purposes’ attendance data is not currently collected. * Absences equal ‘all full day absences for the period in question’. **Data Source:** * [Schools and Students: 2018 Statistical Bulletin](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au//images/stories/PDF/2018-schools-and-students-statistical-bulletin.pdf" Schools and Students: 2017 Statistical Bulletin").

This resulted in a fall in attendance rates for most schools due to the inclusion of partial absences and accounting for student mobility in the calculation. Data for 2018 is not directly comparable with earlier years. **Data Source:** * [Schools and Students: 2018 Statistical Bulletin](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au//images/stories/PDF/2018-schools-and-students-statistical-bulletin.pdf" Schools and Students: 2017 Statistical Bulletin").
