The Court rejects the net‑revenue (grossing‑up) construction of 'revenue' but holds that, on a purposive reading of s36(3) in context with s40, the phrase 'other charges associated with the land and the buildings that constitute the premises of the school or schools' includes reasonable costs incurred in collecting and administering attendance dues; the Secretary/Minister retains supervisory roles under s36(2) and s36(8) to approve rates and require accounts.
