School lockdowns reported for period 2010-2023 for schools in the South Coast/Metropolitan East region, by school
Dear Queensland Department of Education,
I wish to obtain data on instances of reported school lockdowns for schools in the South Coast / Metropolitan East regions, for period 2010-2023, by school.
Yours faithfully,
Jimp
Good afternoon Jimp,
Could you please clarify which regions you are seeking information from, as there is no 'South Coast' or 'Metropolitan East' region - did you mean 'South East' 'North Coast' 'Metropolitan North' or 'Metropolitan South?'
Kind Regards,

Dear COLE, Caroline,
Apologies for the ambiguity - the reporting region "South East" will suffice.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Caroline Cole,
Thank you for your prompt attention to this.
I think this application (Right to Know) has a tendency to end up in people's junk folders. My response was as follows:

Dear Jimp,
Thank you for your enquiry seeking data in relation to school lockdowns in
the South East region for the period of 2010 – 2024, and I apologise for
the delay in responding to you.
As lockdown data was not collected prior to 2020, the South-East Regional
Office has been able to extract some data for reported lockdowns in 2020
through to 2024. Please find attached a spreadsheet listing the school
locations, and dates, where lockdowns have occurred
It is important to note that Schools manage emergency lockdowns locally
and self-report these to the South-East Region.
Lockdowns can be initiated for a number of reasons. Some examples include:
o QPS matters or near school premises
o Threats of violence
o Intruders
o Student behaviour
o Student wellbeing matters
o Parent behaviour
o Snake sightings
We trust you find this information satisfactory.
Regards,
David Miller
