Facilities
What facilities should a registered non-government school provide?
A school must have educational facilities that are adequate for the courses of study provided by the school. As an example, these would typically include:
- general classrooms
- classrooms with facilities to support the delivery of particular courses
- computers with appropriate internet and other digital access
- a designated library area
- indoor open space
- indoor or outdoor recreational space.
What processes does a school need to have in place to ensure that the facilities are adequate?
A registered non-government school must:
- identify the range of educational facilities required for each of the courses of study offered taking into account the number of students undertaking each course, whether the facilities are provided on-site or off-site and the frequency of access to off-site facilities
-
assess and monitor the current standard and state of repair of facilities, taking into account the requirements of relevant legislation including the
- Dangerous Goods Act 1975
- Occupational Health and Safety Act 2000.
