The rise in threats and violence in NSW mirrors a national trend of worsening behaviour towards school leadership staff, the annual Australian Principal Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing Survey released on Monday found.
“The steadily increasing levels of offensive behaviour across the country in schools of all types should give us pause and shame,” the Australian Catholic University (ACU) study said.
It found NSW principals receiving threats of violence jumped from 28.5 per cent when the survey began in 2011 to 46.2 per cent last year. Meanwhile, school leaders experiencing actual physical violence has more than doubled from 20 per cent to 43.9 per cent over the same period.
Just under half of those principals said they had experienced physical violence or been threatened by students in 2022, while one-third said when it came to violent threats, it was parents who were the perpetrators.
