Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) Nothing in this
Subdivision prevents the formation and carrying on of any other association,
in relation to a government school or group of schools, that has as its object
or one of its objects the promotion of the interests of the school or the
group of schools or students at the school or the groups of schools either
generally or in any particular respect.
(2) An association
referred to in subsection (1) is not to have a name that is likely to be
misunderstood as referring to an association to which section 142 applies.
(3) If the Minister is
of the opinion that an association referred to in subsection (1) —
(a) is
being carried on in a way that is not in the interests of the school; or
(b) has
a name that contravenes subsection (2),
he or she may give
directions in writing to the persons who manage the affairs of the association
as to any matter relating to the name, constitution, objects or management of
the association.
(4) A person to whom a
direction is given under subsection (3) must take all steps reasonably
available to him or her to comply with it.
Penalty: a fine of $500.
(5) If any such
direction is not complied with, the association may, on the ground of that
non-compliance, be wound up by the Supreme Court on the application of the
Minister; and section 148(2) and (3) apply for that purpose with all necessary
changes.
