I thank Hugh for his submission. We have been going through it. We have been involved in this discussion on tackling bullying for a number of months so it is important that we hear from students about their experiences. He has given us a number of recommendations and I like quite a few of them. We have just finished a session with officials from the Department of Education. I am curious. When he was choosing his secondary school his parents probably spoke to him about the secondary school he would like to attend. Did that conversation ever include an observation that students get on very well there and are happy in the school as well as the academic outcomes?
