2005 Summary Tables
We have provided some summary tables to give you the responses from a variety of questions on the CensusAtSchool NZ survey conducted in August-September 2005. We have not summarised every variable in the data base because we want to encourage students to pose statistical questions and investigate the data for themselves.
