(c) Due to the constraints on identifying and matching non-government school students between year 10 and year 12, the data provided below is for students who completed both year 10 at a government school and year 12 at a government college.

Table 3: Students awarded a year 12 certificate not awarded a year
10 certificate 2 years earlier

Year completed year 12	Number of students
2002	104
2003	97
2004	78
2005	100
2006	78

(a) Table 4 provides data for the percentages of school students attaining year 10 certificates in the ACT system and includes information from government and non-government schools.

Table 4: Proportion of ACT system students receiving a year 10
certificate as a percentage of total enrolment at August Census

Year	Percentage of students attaining a year 10 certificate (%)
2002	98
2003	97
2004	97
2005	98
2006	98

(b) The percentages of students recorded as enrolled and attending college during semester 2, year 12 who received an ACT Year 12 Certificate that year are:

2002	-	97.1%
2003	-	96.1%
2004	-	95.8%
2005	-	95%
2006	-	96%

Students who do not complete the requirements for an ACT year 12 certificate by the end of year 12 can return to college the following year to do so.

The above figures do not include year 12 students who completed the requirements and received an ACT year 12 certificate but left college before semester 2, year 12.

(6) Yes. A secondary college record provides details of a student’s achievements and enrolment in units/courses to date, during years 11 and 12. Secondary College Records are printed by colleges at the request of students and signed by the college principal. There is no limit on the number of secondary college records a student can request. The dual awarding of a year 12 certificate and secondary college record is therefore not recorded. At the end of year 12, a student who decides to leave school without having completing the requirements for a year 12 certificate is reported in the Year 12 Study as eligible for a secondary college record.
