The principal of a Government school may, in accordance with any Ministerial Order, suspend or expel a student from that school.

A student expelled from a Government school under subsection (1) may, in accordance with any Ministerial Order, appeal to the Secretary against his or her expulsion.

Subject to any action taken by the Secretary under subsection (4), a student of compulsory school age who has been expelled from a Government school must, in accordance with any Ministerial Order, be given an opportunity to continue his or her education while he or she is of compulsory school age.

The Secretary may, in accordance with any Ministerial Order, prohibit a student expelled from a Government school from attending any other Government school.

Despite any provision made by or under any other Act, the Secretary must cause all documents under his or her control relating to the expulsion of a student from a Government school to be destroyed within 12 months after the student is expelled or ceases to be of compulsory school age, whichever is the later.
