Education Act 2016

The administrative authority for a school is to issue guidelines in relation to the enrolment, under this Division, of a school-aged child or youth in the school for part-time attendance at the school in accordance with an approved home education program or proposed home education program.

Guidelines issued under this section – are to – specify the day by which applications for enrolment are to be lodged with the school principal concerned; and set out the process of assessment of applications for enrolment; and set out the dress code requirements for the school-aged child or youth if the enrolment is accepted; and specify the fees and levies to be paid and set out the amount of, or the calculation processes for, those fees and levies and the payment processes for those fees and levies if enrolment is accepted; and set out the manner in which any extracurricular and adjunct services will be made available to the school-aged child or youth if enrolment is accepted; and may include or specify any other matter relating to the attendance of the school-aged child or youth at the school if the enrolment is accepted.

The administrative authority, from time to time, may rescind the guidelines and substitute new guidelines.

The guidelines are to be published on the website of the administrative authority or school or, if there is no such website, in such other manner as the administrative authority considers appropriate.

Guidelines, and a rescission of the guidelines, issued under this section are not statutory rules for the purposes of the Rules Publication Act 1953.
