Daniel Trenchard-Harry, 12, has been suspended from Glenroy Public School twice in three weeks following outbursts linked to the genetic disorder, prader-willi syndrome.

His mum Karen Trenchard believes the move is aimed at driving Daniel out of conventional schooling because his behaviour has become too difficult to manage.

But the NSW Department of Education and Training yesterday said it provided educational opportunities for students like Daniel through specialist schools and support in mainstream classes, and was working with his family to ensure a smooth transition to high school.

Daniel, a year 6 student, suffers insatiable hunger, mild to moderate intellectual delay, obsessive compulsiveness and anxiety.

Ms Trenchard was told by the school last term that he should attend the Wewak Street School “sooner rather than later”.

“We got quite distressed about that,” she said.

“He’s been at the school for 6? years and it’s been a really positive environment for him over that time.

“We didn’t think it was an option at all for him to change schools six months prior to going to high school and we told them that.”

Ms Trenchard said the school’s response had been to suspend Daniel for a total of eight days after he hit someone at the school and pulled posters down in one of the rooms.

“I feel like I’m being railroaded and being bullied because they are saying we want him to go to Wewak, we think he should be going now and if you don’t, we might have to suspend him,” she said.

“We manage his behaviours which are challenging at home, but what pushes us over the edge is when school can’t manage it and they push the pressure down on us.”

Riverina south school education director Peter Smith indicated Daniel was suspended because he had breached discipline codes endorsed by parents and the school community.

He rejected claims that Daniel was being forced out of the school.

“They are currently engaged with the department specialists in developing a plan for Daniel’s smooth transition from Glenroy public to James Fallon High School,” he said.

“The school and its staff are committed to fulfilling that plan during the final weeks of school.”

School finishes in six weeks.
