Dear Pete

We acknowledge receipt of your email to the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (department) seeking access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) to the following information:

“…a spreadsheet (.xls or .csv) of all the schools in Australia which contains where possible the most recent values for:

- School Name
- Type (Primary/Secondary etc.)
- Physical Address
- School Postal Code
- School Email Address (admin/office contact)
- Name of Headmaster
- Headmaster Email Address
- Date School opened
- Number of Students”

I am advised that the information you have requested is publicly available on the Australian Schools List website and the MySchool website maintained by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority. A list of all Australian schools including information such as their location, school type and total student enrolments can be found using the ‘School Search’ function on the following website: https://asl.acara.edu.au/home. I am advised that a list of schools, including school profile information (reflecting MySchool data) can be downloaded as a spreadsheet from the following link: https://www.acara.edu.au/contact-us/acar....

The Australian Schools List website also contains a link to the MySchool webpage for each school, which in most cases contains a link to the individual school’s website containing information about the date the school opened, the address and contact details of the school. In some cases, the school’s website will also contain information about the school’s staff.

Accordingly, as much of the information you are seeking is publicly available, we will treat your freedom of information request as withdrawn unless you advise otherwise by 5:00pm AEST, Friday 12 March 2021.

Please contact us at [email address] if you have any questions.

Kind regards

FOI Team
Department of Education, Skills and Employment
