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).

If a student arrives at your school from another school in Western Australia, or from overseas/interstate, you have the ability to search in the Student Information Records System (SIRS) for that student’s WASN using a family name, given name and date of birth.

Instructions on how to search for a student number may be found in Section 4.3 of the Data Procedures Manual 2025 available at https://www.scsa.wa.edu.au/publications/data-procedures-manual.

All student registrations are recorded in SIRS by the end of Term 1. After this time, you will be able to search for students including the student’s previous school/s. You will know where to send a transfer note, if required.

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 are unable to locate a student number, please email numbers@scsa.wa.edu.au and provide the student’s:

• Family Name
• Given Name
• Date of Birth
• Academic Year
• Previous School (if known).

Also include your provider code in the email.

Year 7 students

All secondary schools with a Year 7 intake can send a complete list (spreadsheet) of Year 7 students entering their school in 2026, including the student’s legal family name, legal given name and date of birth and the Authority will look up the WASNs on their behalf.

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.
