Suspension is focused on ensuring that the wellbeing and safety of students and staff is maintained, so learning can be conducted in a safe and supportive environment.
In addition to the suspension guidelines PDF (888.7 KB), schools have behaviour management policies and processes in place to de-escalate dysregulated behaviour, re-engage students and promote wellbeing. These have been developed in consultation with the school council or board to ensure that it is reflective of the school and its values.
