Applying for eligibility determination

Students applying for an eligibility determination must:

• complete Appendix 2 (this form) and the enrolment application form

* Formal education is ‘education provided in the system of schools...that normally constitute(s) a continuous “ladder”

of full-time education for children and young people ...’ (UNESCO International Standard Classification of Education,

1997)

Note: for the purpose of determining eligibility

• Speakers of dialects and variants of a language are considered to be speakers of

the standard language.

Determining eligibility

• Eligibility to undertake a Heritage Language course is determined by the principal of

the school delivering the course. In this case, it will be determined by the principal of

the Saturday School of Community Languages.

• To be deemed eligible for a course, a student must meet all of the eligibility criteria

for that course at the time of entry to the course.

• The principal’s eligibility determination should, where possible, be provided to the

student in writing at least 10 school weeks prior to the commencement of delivery of

the course.
