ACT public schools are required under the Education Act 2004 to keep a record of attendance for all students enrolled. Student absences are recorded as either explained or unexplained. Parents and carers are not legally obligated to provide a reason for student absence, however parents will generally notify the school regarding a child’s absence. Information is not recorded on the type of illness and schools do not capture this level of detail.

Mr Steel (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Ms Le Couteur on Wednesday, 20 February 2019):

• the roles and responsibilities of both residents and government in the ongoing maintenance the nature strip;
• the types of activities that can and cannot be undertaken on the nature strip; and
• the types of activities that require approval.
