Withdrawal of a school from a system of non-government schools
A non-government school may withdraw from a registration system. Such withdrawal may take place by:
- an approved system authority notifying the Minister in writing that a school that is a member of the registration system is to be withdrawn from the system. In this case, the school ceases to be a member of the system on the giving of that notice,
or, - at the request of the proprietor of a non-government school and, after consultation with the approved authority for the system, the Minister may agree to the school's withdrawal from the registration system.
The approved registration system authority for a system of non-government schools may have requirements that apply to member schools that are beyond those of the Education Act. When making a determination as to the compliance of a member school, the approved authority for the registration system must only consider those requirements that relate to requirements of the Act. If a member school does not comply with system authority requirements, the approved authority for the system and the member school may consider whether the school wishes to continue to be a member of that system.
A school that withdraws from, or is withdrawn from, a system of non-government schools does not have its registration or accreditation cancelled. However, any such registration or accreditation ceases after six (6) months if it has not expired sooner.
An application for renewal of registration and/or accreditation as an individual school must be made within one (1) month of the school ceasing to be a member of the registration system. This application must be made using an 'Application for Registration and Accreditation'.
The 'Application for Registration and Accreditation' form may be accessed and submitted electronically by registered schools by logging on to RANGS Online and using the 'Work with Application Forms' link.
