BOS 56/07 (Vol 16 No 4)

Under Section 131 of the Education Act 1990 ('the Act') the Registered and Accredited Individual Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual and the Registration Systems and Member Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual (the manuals) constitute the rules set out by the Board in relation to the requirements for registration and accreditation.

The Act requires that each responsible person for the school be of good character. This requirement is detailed in section 3.9.1 of the Registered and Accredited Individual Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual and section 5.9.1 of the Registration Systems and Member Non•government Schools (NSW) Manual.

Following a review, this section of the manuals has been revised with regard to contemporary regulatory practice. The Minister for Education and Training has approved the revised text to take effect immediately.

The web versions of the manuals have been updated with regard to this amendment. Please note that the web versions of the manuals are the most up-to-date manuals at any time. The manuals are accessible on the Board's website at www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals

The rules, as constituted in the current web versions of the manuals, take effect immediately.
