Abstract
Australian schools use fixed-term and permanent exclusionary practices to help ‘manage’ unproductive student behaviour (Sullivan et al. 2014). Under Australia’s federal system of governance, the use of such exclusionary practices is guided by state and territory governments, who hold constitutional responsibility for education and have direct oversight of the state schooling systems. Each state and territory has its own legislative constructions including Education Acts, Education Regulations and Ministerial Orders, which guide decisions about school discipline and the use of school exclusions.
