Many strategies are used by our school to provide appropriate consequences for unacceptable student behaviour. The use of School Disciplinary Absences - suspensions, exclusions and cancellations of enrolment - are consequences used after consideration has been given to all other responses.
The Principal must be reasonably satisfied that grounds exist under the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 outlined in sections 284, 289 and 316 prior to making the decision to suspend, recommend exclusion or cancel the enrolment of a student.
For further information on suspensions, exclusions and cancellations of enrolment, refer to the policy SMS-PR-021: Safe, Supportive and Disciplined School Environment.
The data are provided in terms of aggregate counts of incidents recorded by the school. The data do not represent the outcomes of any related appeal decisions.
