All current students in Western Australia should be registered with the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (the Authority) and should have an allocated Western Australian student number (WASN). This number remains with the student throughout their school life. Schools need to recognise the importance of the WASN to avoid duplication of records and maintain the continuity of student data.

Kindergarten students

From Monday 20 October 2025, schools will only be able to request WASNs through the Student Information Record System (SIRS) for Kindergarten students commencing in 2026.

Note: we do not issue numbers for pre-Kindergarten students.

Pre‑primary onwards

If a student other than Kindergarten arrives at your school from another WA school, check to see if they have a WASN first. Instructions on how to search for a WASN are available in Section 4.3 of The Data Procedures Manual 2025 available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual.

For new students commencing in 2026 who do not have a WASN, schools should request a new number beginning in January 2026.

Help with WASNs

If the details you have requested are different from the information in SIRS (e.g. date of birth is different, Jackie is spelt as Jacky), no information will be found.

If you cannot locate a number, contact numbers@scsa.wa.edu.au and give details of the student’s legal family name, legal given name, date of birth and academic year. Also include your school code in any correspondence.

If schools request a WASN for a student who already has a number, the correct WASN will be sent to schools.

Further information is available in Section 4.3 of the Data Procedures Manual 2025 available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual with links to assist schools using Integris/Reporting to Parents (RTP), Civica Maze, SEQTA, Synergetic, Administration of Schools (AoS) and Excel.

Troubleshooting

Additional information to support SIRS users with troubleshooting is available in Section 4.9 of the Data Procedures Manual 2025 available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual.
