The non-State schooling sector is an important part of the State’s education system, representing diverse educational philosophies, and religious and other organisational affiliations.
The Non-State Schools Accreditation Board works predominantly with governing bodies of non-State schools on aspects of accreditation and funding eligibility.
The Auditor-General’s Follow-up of Oversight of recurrent grants to non-state schools (Report 15: 2018–19) was tabled in Parliament on 26 March 2019.
The Report includes audit results for 10 non-State schools. These results have highlighted an increasing risk for schools in connection with the integrity and security of school survey (census) data and associated documents.
The Report indicates that directors of governing bodies of non-State schools, and officials of non-State schools, should be vigilant in respect of the integrity and security of census data and census-related documents. This includes the need to ensure that strong controls over census data and related documents are in place, to help prevent and detect unauthorised amendment. For example, schools should use audit logs which keep a chronological record of system activities from all users, to enable the reconstruction and examination of the sequence of events or changes.
