Advice to non-government schools regarding 2021 annual reports

All non-government schools are required to produce, publicly disclose and submit electronically to NESA a 2021 annual report by 30 June 2022.

Annual reporting requirements are detailed in section 3.10.1 of the Registered and Accredited Individual Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual and section 5.10.1 of the Registration Systems and Member Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual.

NESA’s review of the annual reports submitted in 2021 found that the following areas commonly required improvement:

• details of the teacher accreditation status of all teaching staff
• the full text or a link to the full text of the school's enrolment policies, including all prerequisites for continuing enrolment
• a summary of the school’s anti-bullying policy and information on how it is disclosed publicly.

Schools should consider these areas for improvement in finalising their reports for the 2021 school year.

Submission of annual reports is via NESA’s registration website RANGS Online.

If you require help in accessing RANGS Online, please contact Senior Registration Officer, Bernardine Burnett on (02) 9367 8873.
