ROUND FIVE (PHASE 1)
REQUEST FOR MULTI-CAMPUS FUNDING
Multi-campus schools will be treated as a single school for funding under the Trade Training Centres in Schools Program (the Program) unless DEEWR gives
approval for the school to be treated as more than one entity.
Education Authorities should:



consult with DEEWR as early as possible where they are considering applying for an individual campus of a multi-campus school to be treated as a separate
entity for Program funding;
complete and submit this form to DEEWR for consideration. Completed forms should be emailed to tradetraining@deewr.gov.au by one of the closing
dates advised in the pre-pack email and on the TTC website www.tradetrainingcentres.deewr.gov.au .
Submission of this form does not automatically lead to campus eligibility and further information may be requested by DEEWR prior to making a decision
regarding eligibility; and
obtain approval from DEEWR about the funding eligibility of the individual campus before they submit their Sectoral Plan (Sectoral Strategy and Individual
Project Proposal(s)).
DEEWR will:

notify an Education Authority of the outcome of their request for multi-campus status in writing as soon as possible following receipt of full information
regarding the request; and

pre-populate relevant IPP(s) for a sector to include any school campus(es) approved by DEEWR as separate entities for funding through the Program.
Decisions to approve campuses as individual schools will be published on the Program website at: www.tradetrainingcentres.deewr.gov.au.

DEEWR Evaluation Criteria
NOTE: Requests from multi-campuses to be treated as separate entities for Program funding are considered on a case-by-case basis. DEEWR will take into account all of the following
evaluation criteria to determine campus funding eligibility. However, these criteria may be weighted differently for individual school requests.
General
recurrent grant
funding
DEEWR will consider the manner in which the school attracts Commonwealth general recurrent grant funding, for example, the extent to which the school is paid by
their Education Authority at the whole school level in relation to payment to each separate campus.
School
administration
and rationale for
campus
arrangements
DEEWR will consider the extent to which the campuses have separate, autonomous administration and can operate independently of the other, for example:
Student
enrolments
across campuses
DEEWR will use the following benchmarks that represent the minimum full-time equivalent (FTE) total student campus enrolments for Years 9-12 based on the
Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC).
 are there separate school principals, school councils, school teaching staff, administrative staff, student and parent consultative committees that indicate
campuses have individual consultative and reporting arrangements;
 operational arrangements across the campuses in relation to such matters as educational policies and standards;
 are there separate financial policies in relation to financial institution accounts, financial statements, and allocation of financial resources, including the level of
shared staffing and financial resources;
 whether features of the broader secondary school system or historical factors have contributed to the existing campus structures and should be taken into
consideration, such as
o
the separation of campuses can be distinguished by the separation of Years 11 and 12 into a college system that is separate from the high school system
o
the separation of campuses can be distinguished by the separation of Years 9-12 into junior, middle and senior school.

DEEWR will consider the extent to which the location and proximity of the campuses contributes to them operating independently of each other, including the extent
to which distance impacts on the ability to share physical resources or for students to access courses offered at the other campuses.
