School suspensions data
From 2021, suspension data is reported every semester.
Information about this data:
- Data in this report is sourced from the Northern Territory (NT) Department of Education's enrolment and attendance and behaviour datasets.
- Data is current at the time of publication.
- The average enrolment number is the average enrolments of students over the reporting period.
- Number of students suspended is the number of individual students that have been suspended. A student can be suspended more than once.
- Data on suspensions is subject to change. This data should be considered indicative only.
- Data is inclusive of NT Government schools only.
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.
