The Ministry referral letter must:

(a) clearly state the supervision arrangements for the student’s study with the School,

(b) provide an educational profile, and the name of the previous school,

(c) include a statement from a Ministry of Education psychologist indicating how the psychological or psycho-social issues are to be addressed, and

(d) set a review period for ascertaining whether a face-to-face schooling option is available and appropriate

(a) psychological grounds

The psychological grounds must reside within the individual student and be of sufficient severity to prevent or seriously impede the student from attending a reasonably convenient school.

(b) psycho-social grounds

The psychological grounds must reside within the individual student. The social grounds must reside within the student’s relationships in the wider environment, including their family, whanau and school.

While neither factor on its own might be sufficient, in tandem, there will be good reason for an enrolment recommendation.
