Consultation is now open on policy updates relating to both attendance and student behaviour management, with consultation closing 27 September 2023. 

Guided by our commitment to ensuring that all students are known, safe, well and learning, these updates are intended to provide strong, clear and consistent approaches to responding to attendance and student behaviour management in our schools. 

The Early Learning for Three Year Olds (EL3) initiative is one of the first steps towards achieving the Tasmanian Government’s commitment to provide access to early learning for every child in the year before kindergarten.

Earlier in 2023, the Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP) engaged with families, service providers and community members across Tasmania to hear from communities what early learning could look like. This work was guided by a Co-Design Planning Group with the Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) sector, Independent and Catholic sector representatives. For more information visit the Early Learning for Three Year Olds webpage.

A significant number of education infrastructure projects are currently in planning, design or construction. These include two new schools, 10 major school redevelopments, and 6 new Child and Family Learning Centres.

We engage with students, teachers, staff and communities right across Tasmania for all major capital projects to ensure our education facilities are shaped by those who will use them.
