I thank the member for some notice of this question. On behalf of the Leader of the House, I advise that it is not possible to provide a response in the time available; therefore, I ask the honourable member to place the question on notice. SCHOOLS — BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT 374. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Education and Training: I refer the minister to the behaviour management in schools policy document on the Department of Education and Training’s website. (1) Is a guarantee sought from parents or guardians that a student will be supervised during a period of suspension; and, if not, why not? (2) Is counselling provided for students upon their return from school suspension; and, if not why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH replied: I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Prior to a student being suspended, the parent is informed of the intention to suspend. This provides an opportunity for the parent to arrange supervision. When a student is suspended, the duty of care for that student rests with the parent. (2) Whether a student is provided counselling by a school is determined by the nature of the incident that led to the suspension and the wishes of the parent and the student.
