59—Enrolment of children with disabilities or learning difficulties

If a child is presented for enrolment at a school and the head teacher is of the opinion that the child has disabilities or learning difficulties that would render the child incapable of gaining reasonable benefit from instruction at the school or would seriously interfere with the instruction of other children at the school, the head teacher must—

            (a)         inform each parent of the child of his or her opinion; and

            (b)         enrol the child at the school but excuse him or her from attendance pending a direction of the Director-General under section 75A(1) of the Act; and

            (c)         prepare a report and recommendation as to the means by which the educational needs of the child might be best met in relation to school placement and curriculum and forward the report to the Director-General.
