sec.387 Application for enrolment

Subsection (3) applies if— the enrolment of a student (the former student ) at a State school or non-State school (the previous school ) has ceased and the former student has not been enrolled at a State school or non-State school since the cessation; and an application for the enrolment of the former student at a State school or non-State school (the new school ) has been made. Subsection (3) also applies if— the enrolment of a student (the continuing student ) at a State school or non-State school (also the previous school ) is continuing; and an application for the enrolment of the continuing student at a State school or non-State school (also the new school ) has been made. The new school’s principal may give the previous school’s principal a notice (the first notice ), asking the previous school’s principal to give the new school’s principal a transfer note for the former student or continuing student. Within 10 school days after being given the first notice, the previous school’s principal must prepare a transfer note for the former student or continuing student and give to the new school’s principal— the transfer note; and copies of the documents relating to the former student or continuing student mentioned in the transfer note. The new school’s principal must, at the time of giving the first notice, also notify the relevant person for the former student or continuing student that the first notice has been given. However, if the relevant person for the former student or continuing student is a parent of the former student or continuing student, subsection (5) does not apply if the new school’s principal is reasonably satisfied it would be inappropriate in the circumstances to notify the parent that the first notice has been given. It may be inappropriate, in certain circumstances, to notify a parent of the former student or continuing student that the first notice has been given if the former student or continuing student is living independently of his or her parents. If subsection (6) applies, the new school’s principal must notify the former student or continuing student that the first notice has been given. If requested by the relevant person for the former student or continuing student, the new school’s principal must, as soon as practicable after receiving the transfer note and copies of the documents mentioned in subsection (4) (b) , give the relevant person for the student— a copy of the transfer note; and copies of the documents. However, if the relevant person for the former student or continuing student is a parent of the former student or continuing student, subsection (8) does not apply if the new school’s principal is reasonably satisfied it would be inappropriate in the circumstances to allow the parent to receive a copy of the transfer note and copies of the documents. It may be inappropriate, in certain circumstances, to allow a parent of the former student or continuing student to receive a copy of the transfer note and copies of the documents if the former student or continuing student is living independently of his or her parents. If subsection (9) applies, the new school’s principal must, as soon as practicable after receiving the transfer note and copies of the documents mentioned in subsection (4) (b) , give the former student or continuing student— a copy of the transfer note; and copies of the documents. s 387 sub 2025 No. 24 s 34 (uncommenced amendment) (sec.387-ssec.1) Subsection (3) applies if— the enrolment of a student (the former student ) at a State school or non-State school (the previous school ) has ceased and the former student has not been enrolled at a State school or non-State school since the cessation; and an application for the enrolment of the former student at a State school or non-State school (the new school ) has been made.
