Continued disobedience and disruptive behaviour also will be reinstated as grounds for suspension.
introduced under the former Coalition government that capped the length and number of suspensions schools could issue, as well as the grounds for which a student could be sent home.
Under planned changes, principals will be allowed to extend the length of suspensions beyond a baseline five days for kindergarten to year 2 students, and 10 days for students in years 3 to 12, without needing departmental approval.Continued disobedience and disruptive behaviour also will be reinstated as grounds for suspension, and there will be no limit on the number of times a student can be suspended. Department approval will be needed for suspensions that extend beyond 30 days and 45 days .
NSW Education Minister Prue Car says a review of the former discipline policy found it undermined teachers’ ability to protect the safety of staff and students.A new expulsion process that requires schools to give the student and their parents seven days’ warning of a decision will stay the same. Formal cautions, that are valid for 50 days, are an option for principals, but they are not mandated before giving a suspension.
It includes a “scale of measures” schools can use to deal with problem behaviour – including suspension and expulsion as critical safeguards when needed.
