CENSUSATSCHOOL DATA

Prepared Samples - 2006 Data

These prepared data samples will be useful to teachers where Internet access may be problematic. Teachers can make these samples available to students on the school Intranet. Every sample in the class will therefore be the same.

The prepared Data Samples listed below have been taken from the Random Sampler. The prepared Simplified Data Samples listed below have also been taken from the Random Sampler but include summary tables of the raw data and graphs. Please remember to check back here from time to time as new Data Samples will be added periodically. Also, if you would like other samples added, please contact CensusAtSchool by email censusatschool@abs.gov.au.
