Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 1 January 2023, amend the Education (School Boards) Regulations 2020 (the principal regulations).

Regulation 4 amends the enacting statement of the principal regulations by adding a reference to an additional provision of the Education and Training Act 2020 (the Act) that authorises the making of regulations under the Act.

Regulation 5 inserts new regulations 20 and 21 into the principal regulations. New regulation 20 provides that there is a duty on school boards to promote healthy food and nutrition. New regulation 21 requires school boards, together with principals and teachers, to provide reports to students and their parents on each student’s progress and achievements at the school. Both of these new regulations carry over requirements currently in the national administration guidelines (made under the now repealed Education Act 1989), which will cease to have effect on 1 January 2023.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2019.

Date of notification in Gazette: 17 November 2022.

These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Education.
