(c) 2020;
(d) 2021; and
(e) 2022 (to date)?
Answered on 14 June 2022

Figures are provided at a system level. This information for 826 public schools would require considerable time and divert staff away from their normal duties, which is not considered to be a reasonable or appropriate use of government resources.
