Registration requirements of individual non-government schools
Registered non-government schools must meet the requirements of the Education Act. The requirements relate to:
- the proprietor and principal of the school
- staff
- curriculum
- premises and buildings
- facilities
- safe and supportive environment
- discipline
- attendance
- management and operation of the school
- educational and financial reporting.
Additional requirements apply to schools with boarding facilities.
All registered non-government schools and all non-government schools that are approved as exempt from registration must meet these requirements and maintain the associated evidence of compliance for the period of their registration.
NESA may specify matters, in addition to but not inconsistent with the requirements listed above, that NESA or the Minister may have regard to in determining whether the requirements for registration will be or are being complied with at or in relation to a non-government school.
