Australian Integration Overview

Australian schools are required to report student attendance to the Department of Education. Organisations can either:

• manually input data into the Student Attendance (STATS) system for each day, month or for the entire reporting period
• submit a CSV file of their attendance records.

Note: Synergetic student attendance reports are submitted through the Student Attendance (STATS) application located on the Schools Service Point (SSP) website. See https://ssp.deewr.gov.au/.

Configuring student attendance exports

Synergetic can create a CSV file for your organisation to submit. To ensure your attendance records are correctly calculated and exported, you must:

• Define a MCEETYASchoolCode for each campus in your organisation if you want to report them separately. See Configuring the MCEETYASchoolCode for multiple campuses.
• Ensure your school code is defined in Configuration File Maintenance. See Configuring SchoolCode for DEEWR export.
• Ensure the Absence Events Daily Calculations are correct. See Configuring the Absence Events Daily Calculations.
• Ensure student information relevant to the export is up to date. See Maintaining student information and exclusions for DEEWR exports.

Creating the student attendance export file

To create a student attendance export CSV file, you can use the STATS tab of the Import/Export Student Data window. See Import_Export Student Data - STATS tab.
