The Director General, whose approval must be sought for arrangements ranging between $10 001 and $100 000, has not received any requests for approval since the School Education Act 1999 was proclaimed. The Minister, whose approval must be sought for arrangements with a value over $100 001 has not received any requests for approval during that period. (4) Standard Agreement forms are provided to schools to record arrangements of greater value than $500. Schools are not permitted to enter arrangements that place students or staff under obligation, nor are they permitted to endorse products or programs. Under the School Education Act 1999, all sponsorship and advertising arrangements are required to be consistent with the ethos and values of government school education.
