BOS 53/08 (Vol 17 No 4)

Under the Education Act 1990 (the Act) a non-government school is required to notify the Board of Studies if the school is intending to add or close a campus.

The term 'campus' as it relates to registration has been defined and added to the glossary section of the two registration manuals - the Registered and Accredited Individual Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual and the Registration Systems and Member Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual. In accordance with Section 131 of the Act, these manuals constitute the rules of the Board in relation to requirements for registration and accreditation.

The web versions of the manuals have been updated to include the definition.

Please note that the web versions of the manuals are the most up-to-date manuals at any time. The manuals are available on the Board's website.

For your reference, the 'What's new' section of the Board's registration website, RANGS, contains a list of all amendments to the manuals since they were first published in June 2004.

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