Who is likely to question me?
Do I have to answer their questions?
Can I have someone with me when I am questioned?
Can I be held out of class or detained for questioning?
What if I feel I've been mistreated when I've been questioned?



It is likely that at some stage during your time at school you will be questioned by teachers, senior school staff such as the principal) or other adults (such as a guidance counsellor).

Most of the time this will be to do with day-to-day school activities such as school-work or your attendance. In these cases it will be reasonable for you to answer.

However, there may be times when you are questioned at school about a serious incident. You may be taken out of class and kept in the principal’s office. You could face suspension or stand-down. You may be asked questions about crimes, such as drug-use or theft. A police officer may even come to school to question you about these things. In these cases you have some basic legal rights that are important for you to know. This information sheet will explain your legal rights if you happen to find yourself in this situation.
