STUDENT SUSPENSIONS AND TEACHER RESIGNATIONS —
KALGOORLIE
120. Hon SUE ELLERY to the Minister for
Education:
(1) Can the
minister confirm that at the start of the 2016 school year, there was an
unusually high number of student suspensions and resignations of teaching staff
at a Kalgoorlie public school?
(2) If yes to (1), what was the
school?
(3) What is the number of student
suspensions from schools in the Kalgoorlie area in 2016 to date?
(4) What is the
number of teachers who commenced employment at schools in the Kalgoorlie area
and who have resigned in 2016 to date?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
I cannot provide this information
today. I will provide it tomorrow. The reason is that by not identifying the
school—I understand why the Leader of the Opposition has done that—we
have to go to all the public schools in Kalgoorlie. They are doing that today
and I will have a response tomorrow.
