The enrolment figures given are the actual enrolments on the dates in question, unless otherwise stated; the 1988 figures, where available, are provisional, and are subject to verification, in particular those marked with an asterisk (*). Where no actual figures are available, the average enrolment for the September quarter are given instead, indicated by (av.). In the case of one school, number 12 on the list, neither the actual enrolment nor the average enrolment have yet been returned by the school authorities to my Department. The enrolments stated do not include pupils enrolled in special classes, where these exist.
The number of teachers given is the basic staffing, and includes the principal, assistants and any ex-quota assistants resulting from amalgamation or from inclusion of the school in the disadvantaged areas scheme. Remedial and special class teachers are not included in these figures.
Schools numbers 5 and 6 on the list share a concession post under the disadvantaged areas scheme; this is indicated as .5 of a teacher in each school.
