Term 4 churn

The students who finish Term 4 and don't come back in Term 1.

The share of enrolled students lost across the summer break. Exams finish, holidays start, and a portion of families don't re-enrol. The cause is usually not the teaching. Nothing happened between sessions and the parent couldn't see progress, so the decision defaulted to no.

Most centres don't track it. Working it out is the first step, and the calculator on this site does the arithmetic.
