(1) If the Minister varies the list of non-government schools under this Part in relation to a school in any of the circumstances set out in subsection (2), he or she must:

(a)

determine the school's SES funding level; and

(b)

vary the list to include that funding level.

(2) The circumstances are the inclusion in the list of:

(a)

a school formed as a result of the amalgamation of a non-systemic school or a systemic school (except a systemic school in an approved Catholic school system) with another school that is not included in an approved Catholic school system, whether or not the other school is included in the list; or

(b)

a school formed as a result of the separation of a non-systemic school or a systemic school (except a systemic school in an approved Catholic school system) into 2 or more schools; or

(c)

a new school (except a school which is to become a member of an approved Catholic school system); or

(d)

an existing school (except a school which is to become a member of an approved Catholic school system) that was not included in the list immediately before the variation of the list; or

(e)

a school that has ceased to be a member of an approved Catholic school system.

Note: The circumstances do not include the formation of a school as a result of:

(a) the amalgamation of a systemic school that is a member of an approved Catholic school system with a non-systemic school or with another systemic school (whether or not that other school is a member of an approved Catholic system); or (b) the separation of a systemic school in an approved Catholic school system into 2 or more schools;

because the school formed as a result of the amalgamation, or the schools resulting from the separation, would ordinarily be included in the relevant approved Catholic school system.
