School gender identity policies

David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (17:34): (158) My adjournment item is for the Minister for Education in the other place. I have heard that schools allow the social transitioning of students from one gender to their chosen gender by changing their names and informing other students. I understand that sometimes this occurs without the knowledge of their parents. My request for the minister is to provide any statistics that are available about how many children are socially transitioned in school and any policies that explain the procedure for students, and in particular what is the policy for involving parents and the policies around collection or non-collection of statistics?
