What Dr. Mazzone said about families is something which has been repeated to us on previous occasions by individuals before this committee. I wish to ask Professor O'Higgins Norman and Dr. Gorman about the culture of schools. We repeatedly hear from guests who come before the committee about the importance of schools having a strong culture that does not tolerate bullying and that promotes good treatment of students by all persons in the school. What can this committee do to assist schools to mould and develop that type of culture? How can that culture be developed in schools?
