Victorian school principals will soon have the right to suspend or expel students from outside school, a move described as “increasing pressure on overworked educators.”

State Education Secretary Ben Carroll announced Wednesday that other students and employees will be "at serious risk" when principals "harmful behavior" outside schools and online. It will take effect from the third semester.

Carroll told reporters that this is a "common sense change" that the principal and parents have long called for and will be in line with New South Wales and South Australia.

"Whether in the classroom or out there, poor behavior can have consequences," Carroll said.

“I sat down with my parents, principal and students and had misconduct outside the school gate, and it was difficult for the perpetrator to be fired or suspended.”

Andy Mison, chairman and executive director of the Australian Second-level Principals Association (ASPA), said he supported the announcement’s intentions but was concerned that educators only found the news in the media.

"Victorian principals would be a little bit of a mind," he said. "It's a good intention policy, but before the announcement, consultation with the principal can be strengthened.

“If you want effective school policies, then involve those who have to implement that school policy.”

Mison added that suspensions and evictions can only be used as "absolutely last resort measures" with the goal of supporting children with the best learning.

"It's a matter of acknowledging that it's not a matter of recognizing that schools shouldn't be responsible for managing all of these things," he said.

“Raising children requires a village. We just can’t continue to put more and more pressure on schools, expectations and accountability to address all the problems of society.

Dr. Elise Waghorn’s lecturer at RMIT’s early childhood said that while the new powers will receive strong support, “prevention is better than cure.”

She said that more emphasis should be placed on education on insecure behaviors and online safety of parents and young people, rather than “continuously putting greater pressure on teachers.”

"The principal or teacher should not think that they were deported to their children based on their online activities. It is not enough to just expel children - education is required," Waghorn said.

“We need to give a very clear message that it is not isolated from schools or parents and we need to … prevent this behavior as a community.”

Carroll said harmful behavior could include anything from physical attacks to bullying to distributions of “deep strikes”, in which the person’s real image runs a person’s real image through artificial intelligence to produce sexually clear material.

In recent months, AI has used AI to create pornographic deep attacks by fellow students, which has raised alarms from federal cross-arrangers.

There has been a growing concern about young people’s behavior since the 2011 report began, with a recent survey finding that physical violence against principals increased by 82%, and the threat of violence was also the highest speed during the same period.

Last month, the federal government reviewed bullying and cyberbullying in schools with the aim of developing a nationwide unanimous response to the issue.

The ESAFETY Commissioner is also drafting an industry regulation designed to protect children from inappropriate content, including pornography, high-impact violence, and substances associated with self-harm, suicide and disorderly diet.

"We want to encourage kids to go to school hungry, learn, be afraid or worry about weekends or do staying overnight online, and how that will affect the school environment," Carroll said.
