I refer to the report tabled in Parliament from the State Records Commission titled ‘Special Report: Unauthorised Destruction of Records and State archives at the Department of Education – Student Information System’, and I ask: (a) Have the families of students from each of the 660 schools identified as having missing records been notified by the Department that their child’s records may have been affected?

(a)        It is important to note that student information, both electronic and hard copy, still exists across other departmental systems and repositories.
All public school principals were provided with communications to assist conversations with parents and carers about the Special Report.
