Primary and High School Students

Our expertise in Education Law helps to address/redress issues that may be damaging a child's experience at school.  We support clients in matters such as:

• Discrimination (e.g. gender, racial, disability),
• Bullying and other behaviour causing physical and/or emotional harm,
• Academic punishment, including expulsion and suspension,
• Student rights,
• Dispute investigation and resolution proceedings,
• Sexting and social media issues, and
• Freedom of information.

There are common instances in which it may be in the interests of parents/carers to seek legal advice.  Contact Blossom Lawyers if:

• Your school is refusing to accommodate your child's physical or mental health condition,
• Your child was discriminated against by a staff member,
• Your school is trying to expel your child, or your child was suspended unjustly, or
• You want to challenge a decision.

We also assist parents, carers, students and our non-institutional clients in matters such as:

• Student disciplinary matters
• Special education matters
• Bullying and harassment
• School search and seizures
• Expulsion hearings
• Freedom of speech and religious observance
• Freedom of information and open meeting laws
• Tuition disputes
• Denial of accommodations
