As I understand it, on the reasonableness of the reason for a child not attending, the school makes that decision. The school then tells Centrelink, and I will get to the steps it takes in a minute. But what opportunity does a parent then get to say, ‘This is the reason’? I understood it was the school doing the reasonableness steps, not Centrelink.
