AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Average government primary school class sizes by school size (2009-2025)

The class size audit is conducted in all NSW government primary, infant and central (primary grades only) schools in March each year.

Data notes
<ul>
<li>

Students attending schools for specific purposes (SSPs), students in support classes in regular schools and distance education students are excluded from average class size calculations.
</li>
<li>

The average class size for each year level is calculated from regular and multi-age classes that contain a student from that year level. This can result in a lower K-6 average class size than any individual year level.
</li>
<li>

From 2017, school size is based on primary enrolment rather than school classification.
</li>
<li>

Data from earlier years is not replaced in the Class Size fact sheet. Schools change size. Historical data displays the data that was correct in that year.
</li>
<li>

Refer to the individual class size factsheet publication for further information and policy context.

Water Modelling-Modelled Data-Regional Water Strategy-Bellinger

The datasets provided contain modelled daily streamflow, and storage volume data for several NSW river systems. These data were generated by simulating baseline river system models used to inform the development of Regional Water Strategies. The models were simulated for three different climate scenarios: instrumental climate (about 130 years), paleo-stochastic climate (about 10,000 years), and paleo-stochastic climate with climate projection based on NARCliM 1.0 (about 10,000 years).

Each modelled output is published as a ZIP file which contains two pdf files (.pdf) and three time series data (.csv).

For more information on the NSW regional water strategies program, please refer to the following website. https://www.dpie.nsw.gov.au/water/our-work/plans-and-strategies/regional-water-strategies



The naming structure of the individual zip files is "Watercourse at Gauge name, followed by Gauge number".

1) Bellinger River at Thora Gauge 205002_NARCliM.zip

2) Bellinger River at Boggy Creek Gauge 205005_NARCliM.zip

3) Woolgoolga Creek at Woolgoolga Gauge 205007_NARCliM.zip

4) Corindi Creek at Upper Corindi Gauge 205012_NARCliM.zip

5) Kalang River at Kooroowi_Scotchman No3_Gauge 205013_NARCliM.zip

6) Bellinger River at Fosters Gauge 205016_NARCliM.zip

Pre-emptive closure for schools and early childhood services on all days forecasted by the Bureau of Meteorology to be Catastrophic fire danger rating (FDR) in their fire weather district. Schools, kindergartens and early childhood services with a lower fire risk (those assessed to be in fire risk Category 4) are listed on the department’s Category 4 list.

If you have queries relating to the register, please email emergency.management@education.vic.gov.au.
