Reasons for student suspension

Reasons for students being suspended during Term 2, from 2012 (eg acted illegally, violence).

Suspension from school means that the student does not attend school for a period of time ranging from one to five school days.

Suspensions by reasons are only reported at the incident level (not student) due to significant double counting with some students being suspended several times for different incidents.

Acted illegally is used for students over the age of ten when a principal believes that the student has committed an offence against the law and the police are involved.
