Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

January 21, 2014 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland State school principals will have greater powers to discipline students – including ordering Saturday detentions – when school starts back next week.<\/p>\n

Principals will also be able to discipline students for actions that occur outside school, for example, online bullying.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrincipals can now deal with disruptive behaviour quickly and effectively, with less regulatory burdens,\u201d Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said.<\/p>\n

He said principals would be able to implement solutions that best fitted the unique needs of their own school community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese changes will importantly also expand principals\u2019 abilities to discipline a student for actions outside school, including online bullying,” Mr Langbroek said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can also carry out disciplinary measures on non-school days, for example a Saturday detention, and students may now be required to participate in Community Service Interventions as a consequence of their behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said other changes included the extension of short-term suspensions from up to five school days to up to 10 school days, and long term suspensions, which can now be between 11 to 20 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Queensland State schools will be audited before the end of this year to ensure strong, fair and consistent discipline,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new legislation is aimed at reducing exclusions and suspensions by giving principals a greater scope to find alternatives for individual student situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also includes an enhanced commitment to alternative learning centres that provide specialised support to students with complex needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchools still have an obligation to provide an education program to all students, including those who have been suspended and proposed for exclusion from school.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
