Registration requirements for member schools
All registered non-government member schools must meet the requirements of the Education Act. This section of the website details the requirements that all registered non-government member schools and all non-government member schools that are approved as exempt from registration must meet and the evidence of compliance that schools must maintain for the period of their registration. The requirements and evidence of compliance relate to:
- 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. These are also detailed on the website. The maximum period for which registration may be renewed is five (5) years.
NESA may specify matters, in addition to but not inconsistent with the requirements listed above, that the Minister may have regard to in determining whether the requirements for registration will be or are being complied with at a non-government school.
