(a) persistent disobedience;

(b) misbehaviour;

(c) conduct that adversely affects, or is likely to adversely affect, other students;

(d) conduct that adversely affects, or is likely to adversely affect, the good order and management of the schools;

(e) the student’s attendance at the schools poses an unacceptable risk to the safety or wellbeing of other students or of staff;

if exclusion of the student under division 3 is inadequate to deal with the disobedience, misbehaviour, conduct or risk.

(2) It is also a ground for exclusion if—

(a) the student has been convicted of an offence; and

(b) the chief executive is reasonably satisfied it would not be in the best interests of other students or of staff for the student to be enrolled at the schools.

(3) To remove any doubt, it is declared that, for subsection (1) (c) or (d) , conduct of the student may be a ground for exclusion even if the conduct does not happen on school premises or during school hours.
