Student retention rates at NSW government schools (2014-2023)

The full-time apparent retention rate (ARR) measures the proportion of a cohort of full-time students that moves from one grade to the next, based on an expected rate of progression of one grade per year. It does not track individual students through their final years of secondary schooling.
Data Notes:


The ARR is the ratio of the total number of full-time school students in a designated year (e.g. Year 12 in 2020) divided by the total number of full-time students in a previous year (e.g. Year 7 in 2015). This would be the Year 7 to 12 apparent retention rate in 2020.


From 2020, students in mainstream support classes (previously excluded from this data) are reported by their underlying grade of enrolment.  As a result, data from 2020 onwards is not directly comparable to previous years.  A separate column in the CSV files has been provided to show the 2020 retention rates with both previous and revised counting rules. 2021 retention rates use the revised counting rules.


Support students at Schools for specific purposes (SSPs) do not have a designated grade and therefore are not counted in the calculation of ARRs. Support students in mainstream schools have been included in the calculations from 2020 (see above). 


Reporting on ARRs based on small numbers of students can lead to unreliable ARR estimates. The tables combine ABS SA4 areas to ensure the underlying number of students is sufficiently large to generate reliable estimates.


Only full-time students are counted in the calculation of full-time apparent retention. Part-time students are excluded.


Students enrolled in distance education classes are included with their appropriate grade levels. Sydney-Inner includes enrolments from Sydney Distance Education High School.


ARRs can exceed 100 per cent due to factors including student migration from interstate and overseas and between school sectors.


Norfolk Island Central School is not included in the Apparent Retention Rate factsheet, but from 2018 to 2021 was included under NSW Government data in the ABS Schools Australia publication. This can lead to a slight difference in reported figures between Schools Australia and this dataset.


Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students are identified based on responses to the school enrolment form. This information may change throughout an individual’s schooling.


Reporting by non-binary gender is not possible due to system limitations.

City of Sydney Tree Species List

A list of trees considered to be appropriate for planting within our local area. It is available as a resource and reference, to assist in the future selection and planting of trees on public and private land. For more information on its use and development refer to the  Tree Species List – Development and Use Report.  The City of Sydney Tree Species List (the list) is a list of trees considered to be appropriate for planting within our local area. The list was developed with the assistance of professional arboricultural consultants, academics, landscape architects, an Indigenous consultant and experienced urban forest practitioners. It is hoped that the list will be a valuable resource and reference, to assist in the future selection and planting of trees on public and private land.  Selecting the most appropriate tree to be planted is an important process. It can be crucial to the long-term success of a landscape. To get the best results for the City or your project, the right tree must be planted in the right place, and at the right time. It can also be complicated, with many factors to be considered and balanced before arriving at a decision. The data presented in the list will help to narrow down the potential options, to arrive at tree species that are most appropriate, based on the various site conditions, the design attributes, and any personal preferences. This FAQ answers some key questions and provides a short guide to help.

Warragamba - Flood Study - Stage 1

This report describes the hydraulic modelling for the first stage of a flood study of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley commissioned by the Water Board in 1987. The study is required in order to "determine the effects that various arrangements of major or future works for Warragamba Dam have on flooding in the valley" (Revised Brief for the Preparation of an E.I.S., Water Boards August 1987). Stage 1 required a simplified model to be developed, calibrated and used to provide a measure of the relative effects on flooding of options for such works.
The model used is described in Section 2. Section 3 describes the calibration phase, in which three historical floods were used to adjust model parameters in order to match historical and modelled flood heights. The various options for Warragamba Dam flood protection works have an impact on the outflow hydrographs from the dam. Outflow hydrographs were determined for each option for five "design" floods and run through the calibrated hydraulic model. Peak flood heights were then tabulated and compared at three key locations In the valley. Section 4 describes the options while Section 5 discusses the modelling methods used to run these cases. The results are presented as a series of tables and graphs.

Peak Trains Load Survey - March 2016

This dataset provides estimates of train loads during the AM and PM peak periods - derived from a survey held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 March 2016 to 17 March 2016.
The primary purpose of the train load surveys is to support service planning and rail timetabling. Surveys are conducted in March and September. March loads are the preferred dataset for network planning as it reflects the busiest time of year for train travel and is less subject to seasonal factors. The March loads are usually higher and provide a better gauge of rail system performance.

NSW Bush Fire Prone Land

The NSW Bush Fire Prone Land dataset is a map prepared in accordance with the Guide for Bush Fire Prone Land Mapping (BFPL Mapping Guide) and certified by the Commissioner of NSW RFS under section 146(2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Over time there has been various releases of the BFPL Mapping Guide, in which the categories and types of vegetation included in the BFPL map have changed. The version of the guide under which, each polygon or LGA was certified is contained in the data. An area of land that can support a bush fire or is likely to be subject to bush fire attack, as designated on a bush fire prone land map. The definition of bushfire vegetation categories under guideline version 5b: 
Vegetation Category 1 consists of: 

Areas of forest, woodlands, heaths (tall and short), forested wetlands and timber plantations. 
Vegetation Category 2 consists of: 
Rainforests. 
Lower risk vegetation parcels. These vegetation parcels represent a lower bush fire risk to surrounding development and consist of: - Remnant vegetation; - Land with ongoing land management practices that actively reduces bush fire risk. 
Vegetation Category 3 consists of: 
Grasslands, freshwater wetlands, semi-arid woodlands, alpine complex and arid shrublands. 
Buffers are created based on the bushfire vegetation, with buffering distance being 100 metres for vegetation category 1 and 30 metres for vegetation category 2 and 3. Vegetation excluded from the bushfire vegetation categories include isolated areas of vegetation less than one hectare, managed lands and some agricultural lands. Please refer to BFPL Mapping Guide for a full list of exclusions.The legislative context of this dataset is as follows: On 1 August 2002, the Rural Fires and Environmental Assessment Legislation Amendment Act 2002 (Amendment Act) came into effect.The Act amended both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Rural Fire Services Act 1997 to ensure that people, property and the environment are more fully protected against the dangers that may arise from bushfires. Councils are required to map bushfire prone land within their local government area, which becomes the trigger for the consideration of bushfire protection measures when developing land. BFPL Mapping Guidelines are available from www.rfs.nsw.gov.au
This dataset is update upon certification of each LGA BFPL change or spot change.
