66 Principal must consider and decide application for extra semesters

(1) The principal must consider the application and decide it in the way the principal considers appropriate after considering all relevant matters, including, for example—

(a) whether the student is of compulsory school age; and

(b) the likely educational outcome of the student attending the school for the extra semester or semesters; and

(c) the likely impact on the resources of the State school of the student attending the State school for the extra semester or semesters.

(3) After making the decision, the principal must—

(a) immediately advise the student of the decision; and

(b) within 7 days after advising the student of the decision, give the student an information notice about the decision.
