Student Engagement: Suspensions
Schools must effectively involve students in learning to ensure educational success. Stand-downs, suspensions, and exclusions help provide indications of where engagement in productive learning may be absent and behavioural issues may be present. Stand-downs, suspensions and exclusions are not measures of student behaviour but measures of a school's reaction to behaviour. What one school may choose to suspend for another may not.
Identical information is available by regional council and territorial local authority through the Know Your Region pages.
Identical information is available for the school’s Communities of Learning | Kāhui Ako through the Communities of Learning page: Porirua East Community of Learning.

Notes:
- Age standardised rate is ‘observed’/’baseline’*’national rate per 1,000’. Care should be taken when examining age-standardised rates, especially in the cases when small numbers are involved. For more information on age-standardisation see the Technical Notes/Definitions tab.
- International fee paying students, adult students (age 19+), and private students are excluded.
- ‘x’ = less than 5 students in the denominator for this category, or if left unmasked the data may lead to deducing other masked values.
- Ethnicity is prioritised. MELAA (Middle Eastern, Latin American, and African) students are included with ‘Other’.
