ICSEA
Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage

NAPLAN
Each score below is shown against the national average — Schools360’s own calculation across the private and independent schools in this dataset with a result at that year level and domain, not a figure ACARA itself publishes, and not every Australian school ACARA tracks. It rests on a single year’s cohort, not a stable multi-year pattern.

Additional information on fees
The document has both a '1ST CHILD PER TERM' table and a '1ST CHILD PER ANNUM' table for the same year bands; used the PER ANNUM table's TOTAL column (Tuition + Levy) per the per-annum-beats-per-term rule. Bands expanded: '7 & 8' -> Year 7, Year 8; '9 & 10' -> Year 9, Year 10; '11 & 12' -> Year 11, Year 12 (same figure for each year in the band). Used the 1st Child column only - the 2nd/3rd/4th Child columns (20%/50%/100% discounts on tuition, 20%/30%/50% discounts on levy) were excluded. Also excluded (per-family, not per-student, and no per-annum figure stated): the compulsory P&F Levy of $25 per family per term, and the voluntary (and tax-deductible) Building Fund Contribution of $190 per family per term.
