Study with an outside tutor
NESA is authorised under sections 20A(2), 94 and 95 of the Education Act 1990 (NSW) to exercise functions in connection with the school curriculum and the RoSA and the HSC, including:
- determining whether students have satisfactorily participated in and satisfactorily completed courses of study, developed or endorsed by the NESA Board
- entering students into courses of study
- making decisions in relation to student eligibility to undertake courses of study approved by the Minister.
About studying courses with an outside tutor
- NESA allows principals to approve the delivery of specified courses of study by outside tutors to students enrolled at the school. Principals have delegated responsibility for determining the suitability of tutors.
- Students in Stage 4 may study a Languages course with an outside tutor to meet the mandatory curriculum requirements.
- Students must seek approval from their principal to study Stage 5 or Stage 6 courses not available for study at their school with an outside tutor.
