#### 53 Maximum SES funding—meaning of majority Indigenous student school
(1) In this Act:
> majority Indigenous student school, for a program year, means a non‑government school, if:
(a) in the case of a school that was not a very remote school on the schools census day for the calendar year before the program year—as counted on that schools census day, 80% or more of the total number of students receiving primary and secondary education at the school were Indigenous; or
(b) in the case of a school that was a very remote school on the schools census day for the calendar year before the program year—as counted on that schools census day, 50% or more of the total number of students receiving primary and secondary education at the school were Indigenous.
(2) In this section:
> very remote school, for a calendar year, means a school:
(a) whose only school campus for that calendar year is a very remote school campus (within the meaning of this Act); or
(b) all of whose school campuses for that calendar year are very remote school campuses (within the meaning of this Act).
> Note: The definition of very remote school campus in section 4 applies a more up‑to‑date Remoteness Structure than the Remoteness Structure applied in section 4 of the former Act.
