QED - Full-time Enrolment Census (Point) 2013-2017

This dataset presents the location of Queensland state schools with full-time enrolments by year level for the years 2013-2017. The data was collected from the School Census which is conducted on the first Friday of August each year. The Census collects information on students and staff from all non-government establishments that have, as their major activity, the administration or provision of full-time primary, secondary and/or special education. For further information about this dataset, please visit the Queensland Department of Education - Downloadable Data Files. Please note:

AURIN has spatially enabled this data using the Queensland Department of Education - State and Non State School Listings 2012-2018.

Data is made available through a AURIN-QCIF-RIDL collaboration.

From 2015, students enrolled at state schools are recorded against their age or ability appropriate year level as determined by their school.

From 2015, Year 7 became the first year of secondary school in Queensland.

A half cohort of Prep Year was introduced in 2007 to align with the shift in the compulsory school starting age from 2008. In 2017 the half cohort is in Year 10.

The school structure in this data is as at August 2017; historical data has been combined for schools which have been amalgamated. For this reason, schools which were created by an amalgamation may have enrolments for years prior to opening.

The number of schools in this data may differ from the school count cube because there are a small number of schools which do not have enrolments of their own; rather students from other schools attend these schools on an as needs basis. The Lady Cilento Children's Hospital School does not have enrolments of their own.
