ICSEA: The Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) scale represents a school’s level of educational advantage and is primarily based on the family backgrounds of enroled students. See the My School website for details: http://www.myschool.edu.au.

Noise Level: LAeq,(10 min): Equivalent continuous sound level (A-weighted) recorded over a 10 minute sample period.

Condition Sequence: O/E/O Term 2: Open-plan; Term 3: Enclosed-plan; Term 4: Open-plan.
