This policy provides procedures and advice for the enrolment of students in public schools.

These procedures apply to all Department site managers and to Department employees in public schools who have been nominated to take charge of a recreation and/or outdoor education activity.

The procedures outline the requirements for staff in residential facilities to ensure the safety and well-being of students during leisure activities.

The Department registers home educators and evaluates their educational programs and children’s progress.

Schools and residential facilities need to have appropriate security measures in place to protect school property and ensure a safe and secure environment for staff and students. A variety of approaches are needed for implementation of effective security.
