Explanatory Notes

Reference date

The 2013 ACT school census was conducted on Wednesday, 20 February 2013.

Scope and coverage

The census includes all ACT public and non government‐ schools providing primary, secondary and specialist education. Jervis Bay School is 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. Non government‐ school census data was electronically submitted to the Directorate.

Student enrolments

The census includes 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.

Connect10

The Connect10 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 referralpanel. The length of placement is long term, designed to engage students in learning and training and transition to future pathways.

Connect10 programs are conducted at Lake Tuggeranong College (Connect10 Southern), University of Canberra Senior Secondary College Lake Ginninderra (Connect10 Northern) and Dickson College (Connect10 Central).

Introductory English Centres (IECs)

Introductory English Centres (IECs) are for students who require intensive full-time English language instruction.

There are three IECs in the primary sector, conducted at North Ainslie Primary School (Northside Primary IEC), Hughes Primary School (Southside Primary IEC) and Wanniassa Hills School (Tuggeranong Primary IEC). There is one IEC in the high school sector and the college sector, conducted at Dickson College (Secondary IEC).
