Really?
One could make a compelling case this is gross malfeasance on the schools and Victorian Education Department's behalf.
The student support plan mentioned is formulated with the student, the wellbeing officer at the school and usually the school principal or vice principal. Parents are not involved in the process at that stage, nor made aware of it. Parents are informed after this plan has been formulated.

Why does the Victorian Education Department think it is healthy to separate parents from children, where our Family Law consider it a necessity to be connected to the parent?
Why does the Victorian Education Department and schools make unlawful judgements about parents ability for what is best for their children?

They are indoctrinating your children to make life altering decisions which cannot be reversed. They have a righteous belief that they can go ahead and ignore your wishes/concerns without any legal precedence.
