(a) (i) - (iv) Please refer to Tabled Paper. Note that the Community Kindergartens and  Camp Schools are not included.
In providing this response, "South West Region" has been taken to refer to the South West Electoral Region, not the South West Education Region.
The 'maximum suspension period', is the longest suspension period in days for each school.
The 'median suspension period' is the middle suspension period for each school, measured in days.
