MR PARTON: Minister, how many students from this primary school have been suspended due to violent behaviour and for how long?
MS BERRY: I will take that question on notice.
Schools—bullying
MR WALL: My question is also to the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development. Minister, how many students have taken sick days at the Tuggeranong primary school in the past six months due to injury and bullying occurring at the school?
MS BERRY: I will take that question on notice, too.
MR WALL: Minister, what measures are in place to ensure that those students are kept up to date with their studies as a result of absences that may have occurred as a result of bullying or injuries occurring at the school?
MS BERRY: I cannot respond in relation to specific families but, generally, the school will work with the families with work that can be completed whilst students might not be attending school in the classroom. That is a regular occurrence that would happen within our schools. As I said, I will have to take the detail of the question on the actual number on notice.
MS LEE: Minister, how many parents at the school have asked for their children to be withdrawn?
MS BERRY: I will take that question on notice.
National Multicultural Festival—preparation
MS CODY: My question is to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs. Minister, how will the National Multicultural Festival promote inclusiveness in the ACT?
MR STEEL I am incredibly proud that we live in such an inclusive city, home to our country’s largest celebration of cultural diversity at the multicultural festival. The festival is one of Canberra’s most popular and well attended events. It brings people together from all walks of life to promote social cohesion, connection and inclusivity.
The festival provides a platform for people to showcase and share the traditions of their cultures and to connect with other people over a meal or a drink or by enjoying a cultural performance together. We are expecting tens of thousands people to come through the city during the event, sampling food from over 140 stalls, experiencing the Latin quarter, the Pacific Islander showcase, the European village, the China village, the US showcase, the Celtic tattoo, the Greek Glendi, the belly dance
