Student Retention Rates

The retention rate for Yr 8 is always 100% for all years because it is the base year for retention. In some years the retention rate exceeds 100% because there was a net increase in the number of students for that year.

The retention rate generally increased across the period from 2003 to 2008, showing an increase in participation at school. 2006 showed the highest overall retention rate of all years in this time period.
