Description
As we know Independent schools are required to be compliant at all times with the Registration Standards and Other Requirements, and their compliance with these standards and requirements is audited at every renewal of a school’s registration.
The annual School Registration Seminar will provide AISWA member schools with information that will not only assist schools who are preparing for a 2023 renewal of registration audit but will also assist schools with their ongoing compliance.
The Seminar will be presented by AISWA’s Registration and Compliance Consultants and will include information on the current Registration Standards and Other Requirements, any known or expected changes to the Standards and Requirements, an overview of the review process, NGSR focus areas for 2023, compliance risks in governance and reporting to the governing body (including the dashboard approach).
This is a free and fully catered event that will be held in the training facility at the AISWA offices.
Presenters
Gary Robinson (AISWA Staff)
Registration And Compliance Consultant
After graduating with a Bachelor in Science (Chemistry) and a Diploma in Education Gary started teaching in 1979 as a science teacher at Norseman District High School. After teaching for 9 years in Department of Education schools in a range of subjects including Chemistry and Physics he moved to Albany, with his family, where for the next 20 years he taught at Bethel Christian School. He was Principal of the school for his last 8 years in Albany. From Albany Gary and his wife moved to Esperance to teach at Wongutha CAPS, a boarding school for Aboriginal students. Gary was offered and accepted a position at AISWA in 2007.
Gary’s first role at AISWA was to support the Aboriginal Independent Community Schools (AICS) as they took on older students as a consequence of the raising of the student leaving age. Gary then worked in the newly created Policy and Registration space for a few years before taking on the management of the AICS support team. Since 2013 Gary has been back as a consultant in the Registration and Compliance area where he works alongside Sarah Kennedy.
