Mr. Matthew Ryan:

On the point on clubs, it is a very grey area. As has been mentioned, it is very difficult for the school to take on something that happens in a club just because it involved a student of that school. It is a very grey area, but where I see a link is where derogatory language and so on is not challenged and allowed to happen in a club, from where it is brought back into the school. That is the biggest link. Education must run through the whole of society and everything in which students are involved.

We cannot put all of the work to educate the students on everything on schools. It needs to be a whole-of-society approach as opposed to just saying that schools alone are responsible for ensuring that our students are educated because that is a mammoth task for them to undertake.
