(a) whether or not the applicant is the holder of a positive notice under the Commissioner's Act; and
(b) whether or not the applicant's positive notice is suspended under the Commissioner's Act; and
(c) if the applicant is the holder of a positive notice under that Act that is not suspended—whether the college may need to have regard to the matters mentioned in section 11(1) for deciding whether the applicant is suitable to teach.
