And so I know Ray loves to talk about NAPLAN, but we're very excited about where our instructional ecosystem has taken our students.

And Rach, I often say to staff, there's some areas of our previous school where they outperformed us.
34:18
So when I was leading that school, we had reached those.
34:20
But Rach and I had a conversation.
34:22
Rach reminded me that probably the biggest difference here is we have a lot of families that constantly go on holidays.
34:29
But more than that, a number of our kids that come into the school have no English whatsoever.
34:35
So the EALD background plays a really big part in what our kids are doing.
37:01
But if you're not taking on huge numbers, how's that – what's that been like for you?
31:51
How are you working? How is that? How are you seeing that? And I know Australia just came up with some new laws around social media, if I remember right.
31:58
Yeah, we have.
31:59
And the UK, I heard on the news last night that the UK has followed a similar line.
32:03
So kids under the age of 16 can't have various social medias for Facebook, um, Instagram, there's a few others, TikTok, those sort of things would be banned.
32:13
However, the flip side of that is you've got to police it.
32:17
It's great to bring a rule or a law in, but we've got a law over here, a classic example.
32:23
You're supposed to ride a push bike with a helmet.
