ACT Public School Census August 2013
Introduction
This publication presents the results from the ACT Public School Census conducted on
Friday 2 August 2013. Unlike the February ACT School Census, which includes all ACT schools, the
August census conducted by the Directorate covers ACT public schools only.
This publication also presents information on the number of enrolments of students of school age
who undertook school equivalent courses through home education or the Canberra Institute of
Technology.
Non-school education
It is recognised that there are alternative educational pathways for students to undertake school
level courses other than by attending an ACT public or non-government school. For students
residing in the ACT as at August 2013, 176 were home educated. In addition, a further 547
students, who were of school age, undertook school equivalent courses at the Canberra Institute of
Technology.
Student enrolments, 2009 to 2013
In August 2013, there were 41,047 enrolments in ACT public schools, up by 921 (2.3 percent)
enrolments from August 2012 (Table 1). The increase in total public school enrolments continued
the trend for the fifth consecutive year. This contrasted with the previous 10 years of decreasing
public school enrolments.
Primary schools, high schools and specialist schools showed an increase in 2013 from 2012. Primary
school enrolments increased by 752 (3.1 percent), high school enrolments increased by
175 (1.8 percent), a decrease of 20 (-0.3 percent) enrolments in colleges and specialist school
enrolments increased by 14 (3.3 percent).
When measured over the longer term, total enrolments have increased by 2,678 (7.0 percent) since
August 2009.
In August 2013, 60.9 percent of public school enrolments were at the primary school level
compared with 59.2 percent in 2009. High schools accounted for 23.9 percent of public school
enrolments in 2013 compared with 25.2 percent in 2009. College enrolments accounted for
14.1 percent of the total in 2013 compared with 14.7 percent in 2009. Specialist schools

ACT Public School Census August 2013
Explanatory Notes
Reference date
The 2013 August census was conducted on 2 August 2013.
Scope and coverage
The August census included all ACT public schools providing primary, secondary and specialist
education. Jervis Bay School was included in ACT public primary schools as the Education and
Training Directorate administers the Jervis Bay School for the Australian Government under a
service agreement.
Collection
ACT public school census data was electronically downloaded from the Directorate’s centralised
administrative system.
Student enrolments
The census included students who were officially enrolled in a school on census day and who were
active in a primary, secondary or specialist education program at that school. Students who were
absent for more than four continuous school weeks prior to census date were included if the
principal received written documentation signed by the guardian indicating that the student was to
return to school on or before 16 August 2013.
Connect 10
The Connect 10 program supports students to develop a personal pathway plan that may include
one or more of the following goals: completion of Year 10 Certificate, transition to years 11 and 12,
vocational learning, employment and/or re-engagement with high school. Students in the program
are an appropriate age for year 9 or 10 and their participation must be approved by a referral
panel. The length of placement is long term, designed to engage students in learning and training
and transition to future pathways.
Connect 10 programs were conducted at Lake Tuggeranong College, University of Canberra Senior
Secondary College Lake Ginninderra and Dickson College.
Introductory English Centres
Introductory English Centres (IECs) are for students who require intensive full-time English
language instruction.
There were three IECs in the primary sector, conducted at North Ainslie Primary School, Hughes
Primary School and Wanniassa Hills Primary School. There was one IEC in the high school sector
and the college sector, conducted at Dickson College.
Mature students (M)
Students in public schools aged 20 years or over on 31 January in the year of commencement of
their college studies were classified as Mature.
Education and Training Directorate, Australian Capital Territory Government

College level

defined as mature and older.
Specialist schools
Specialist schools cater for students with a moderate to profound intellectual disability, severe
Autism Spectrum Disorder or with multiple disabilities that require intensive levels of support.
