Many thanks for your support of the Financial Survey for Schools (FSS).
2022 School-year reports close Monday, 15 July 2024
On Monday, 15 July 2024, we will close Options 2 to 9 on the FSS portal to make way for the 2023 school-year reports. So please make sure you have downloaded and saved last year’s survey reports (2022 school-year) before that date.
During this time, you can still enter your 2023 school-year data (Option 1).
Target release of 2023 school-year reports on Thursday, 1 August 2024.
We are aiming to release 2023 school-year FSS reports on Thursday, 1 August 2023, which is why we need to close last year’s reporting so we can prepare and test the system.
Continual improvement
In response to sector needs, this year’s reports include a revamped IT benchmarking report, a new Early Learning Centre (ELC) benchmarking report and our revolutionary SKI Scenario Builder™ that enables adjustments to key variables to instantly re-forecast budgeted financials, key ratios and risk assessment.
