Dear Liston College,

I am writing to formally request the following information under the provisions of the Official Information Act (OIA):

A tabulated breakdown of incident types, categorised by student year level, for the year 2023 to date, as well as for the following years:
- 2019
- 2020
- 2021
- 2022
A tabulated breakdown of incident types, categorised by school house, for the year 2023 to date, as well as for the following years:
- 2019
- 2020
- 2021
- 2022

This data can be readily accessed through your Kamar software under the "Reporting > Statistics > Pastoral" section. As specified: https://www.kamar.nz/reporting/statistic...

Your prompt attention to this request is greatly appreciated. I look forward to your timely response.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Liston College,

I wish to bring to your attention a potential misinterpretation; be aware that I require data broken down for each year (e.g., 2021), this is not clear in the original request. As another school has misunderstood.

Please also note that according to the Official Information Act 1982, the 'Act,' you are legally obligated to respond to this request at the earliest opportunity and no later than 20 working days after receiving it (unless an extension is granted, subject to criteria outlined in the 'Act').

I acknowledge that schools may encounter administrative resource challenges. Based on my experience, response times vary significantly among different schools. While some schools manage to respond within 4 hours, others may exceed the 20 working days without seeking an extension. It is only lawful to utilise the full 20 working days if the response is carried out 'as soon as reasonably possible.'

Deliberate delays are not permissible. Any unlawful attempts or misconduct will be promptly and unequivocally reported to your local Ministry of Education office or the Office of the Ombudsman.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Nicki Packer,

Thank you for your response.
However I have noticed Year 9 and 10 categories are not shown. Is it possible for these to be shown?

Yours sincerely,

Dear Nicki Packer,

This is a complaint for your Board:
I am yet to receive a response (neither refusal or information) to this OIA regarding what I originally requested fully.

This may be referred to the Office of the Ombudsman.

Yours sincerely,
