Teaching staff include principals, deputy principals and senior teachers mainly involved in administrative duties, but not specialist support staff (who, although they may spend the majority of their time in contact with students, are not engaged directly to impart the school curriculum). In the Northern Territory, Assistant Teachers in Homeland Learning Centres and community schools are included as teaching staff."]

["(d)","The ratio of ‘FTE students to FTE non-teaching in school staff’ needs to be interpreted with care because it can be affected by:\n• the amount of administrative work undertaken by staff nominally classified as teachers (such as principals, assistant principals and senior teachers)\n• the proportion of administrative work undertaken outside the school (because administrative tasks such as personnel management are centralised in some jurisdictions but undertaken at the school level in others)\n• the extent to which technology is applied to teaching, learning and school administration \n• the extent to which there are support staff in the classroom setting and whether these staff are classified as teaching or non-teaching\n• the degree to which schools contract out services."]
["(e)","School staff include all teaching staff and those non-teaching staff who spend more than half their time actively engaged in one or more schools (excluding cleaners and emergency and casual relief staff)."]

The apparent retention rate from year 7 or 8 to year 10 or year 12 is the percentage of full time students who continued to year 10 or year 12 from respective cohort groups at the commencement of their secondary schooling. The apparent retention rate from year 10 to year 12 is the percentage of full time students who continued to year 12 from respective cohort groups at year 10. Calculations are based on full time student numbers. Relatively small changes in student numbers can create apparently large movements in apparent retention rates for apparent retention rates calculated for small populations."]
["(b)","Some students' Indigenous status is not stated. Consequently, the number of Indigenous students counted in the Indigenous rates may be underrepresented in some jurisdictions. Students for whom Indigenous status is 'not stated' are included in the figures for 'Non-Indigenous students' and these students are included in the figures for 'All students'."]
["(c)","Ungraded students are not included in the calculation of apparent retention rates. This exclusion has particular implications for the NT, prior to 2008, where 10.9 per cent of Indigenous secondary students are ungraded in 2007 (compared with an average of 4.2 per cent for the rest of Australia, but since 2008 the NT proportion of ungraded students has substantially reduced), and this should be considered when interpreting these data."]

["(a)","The apparent retention rate from year 7 or 8 to year 10 or year 12 is from year 8 to year 10 or 12 for Queensland, WA and SA and from year 7 to 10 or 12 for all other jurisdictions. The apparent retention rate from year 7 or 8 to year 10 or year 12 is the percentage of full time students who continued to year 10 or year 12 from respective cohort groups at the commencement of their secondary schooling. The apparent retention rate from year 10 to year 12 is the percentage of full time students who continued to year 12 from respective cohort groups at year 10. Calculations are based on full time student numbers. Relatively small changes in student numbers can create apparently large movements in apparent retention rates for apparent retention rates calculated for small populations."]
["(b)","Some students' Indigenous status is not stated. Consequently, the number of Indigenous students counted in the Indigenous rates may be underrepresented in some jurisdictions. Students for whom Indigenous status is 'not stated' are included in the figures for 'Non-Indigenous students' and these students are included in the figures for 'All students'."]
["(c)","Ungraded students are not included in the calculation of apparent retention rates. This exclusion has particular implications for the NT, prior to 2008, where 10.9 per cent of Indigenous secondary students are ungraded in 2007 (compared with an average of 4.2 per cent for the rest of Australia, but since 2008 the NT proportion of ungraded students has substantially reduced), and this should be considered when interpreting these data."]
["(d)","Data for WA have been affected by changes in scope and coverage over time.  "]
["(e)","The exclusion of part time students from standard apparent retention rate calculations has particular implications for the interpretation of results for SA and Tasmania."]

["(a)","The apparent retention rate from year 7 or 8 to year 10 or year 12 is from year 8 to year 10 or 12 for Queensland, WA and SA and from year 7 to 10 or 12 for all other jurisdictions. The apparent retention rate from year 7 or 8 to year 10 or year 12 is the percentage of full time students who continued to year 10 or year 12 from respective cohort groups at the commencement of their secondary schooling. The apparent retention rate from year 10 to year 12 is the percentage of full time students who continued to year 12 from respective cohort groups at year 10. Calculations are based on full time student numbers. Relatively small changes in student numbers can create apparently large movements in apparent retention rates for apparent retention rates calculated for small populations."]
["(b)","Some students' Indigenous status is not stated. Consequently, the number of Indigenous students counted in the Indigenous rates may be underrepresented in some jurisdictions. Students for whom Indigenous status is 'not stated' are included in the figures for 'Non-Indigenous students' and these students are included in the figures for 'All students'."]
["(c)","Ungraded students are not included in the calculation of apparent retention rates. This exclusion has particular implications for the NT, prior to 2008, where 10.9 per cent of Indigenous secondary students are ungraded in 2007 (compared with an average of 4.2 per cent for the rest of Australia, but since 2008 the NT proportion of ungraded students has substantially reduced), and this should be considered when interpreting these data."]
["(d)","Data for WA have been affected by changes in scope and coverage over time.  "]
