The School Education Act requires the Director General to be satisfied that a school is or will be well governed. The governance requirements are:

• that the governing body named on the registration certificate has ownership, management or control of the school;

• that the association’s or company’s constitution is satisfactory;

• that the members are people of good character who between them have qualifications, skills and experience relevant to operating a school and who are able to manage conflicts of interest effectively;

• that there is a separation between the governing body’s overall governance role and the principal’s day-to-day management and control responsibilities; and

• that the governing body is ultimately accountable for specific matters including the quality of the educational programmes, the school’s strategic direction, compliance with applicable laws and its own duty of care for the students.

Our policies are designed to ensure compliance with government registration requirements are met, and that all contractual obligations are upheld.
