applied in relation to determining at which school a child to which this

practicable, be consistent with any policy published from time to time by the
Minister by notice in the Gazette for the purposes of this paragraph;

location of the school at which the child is to be enrolled should, as far as
is reasonably practicable, minimise any difficulties arising from the location
of the child's primary place of residence;

enrolment of the child at a particular school should, as far as is reasonably
practicable, take into account any wishes of the parents or guardians of the
child in relation to the provision of particular curriculum subjects or
special interest programs;
(d) the
enrolment of the child at a particular school should, as far as is reasonably
practicable, take into account any relevant social and family circumstances of
the child;

enrolment of the child at a particular school should, as far as is reasonably
practicable, take into account any social and family links to the school
(including, without limiting this paragraph, any sibling attendance at the
school);
(f) the
enrolment of the child at a particular school should, where relevant, take
into account the particular needs of international students, or children of
the holders of a business visa under a law of the Commonwealth.
