Reduction
Are those reductions grammatically correct:

The boy who left school last year, now wants to be admitted again =? The boy having left school ....
The child who has been playing in the garden... = the child playing in the garden...
The girl who has cleaned the house goes to a highschool =? The girl having cleaned the house ......
The boy who left school last year, now wants to be admitted again =? The boy having left school ....
The child who has been playing in the garden... = the child playing in the garden...

Then, are there any situations in relative clauses where reduction with 'having+ V3' is possible?

I really cannot think of any with that reduced perfect continuous form.
Having done X = After X was done.
The girl, having washed the dishes, dried them.
The girl. after she washed the dishes, dried them.
I cannot tell you why that is so; I hope another member will come along with the answer or some examples.
