The data collected between 2017 and 2021 includes Full Time Equivalent (FTE) enrolments by school type, year level, and sex for each school. Victorian schools provide enrolment details twice a year. The first collection takes place in February, and the data gathered is used for government school resource allocation. Non-government school data is also used for system-wide reporting. The second collection occurs in August, and this data is used both for school resource allocation and for inclusion in state and national statistical reports. It is important to note that non-government schools submit their August data directly to the Commonwealth for these purposes.
