Well, what we’ve done in terms of reaching out to teaching staff across the state, we know that many teachers have retired recently. We know we’ve got many younger students in their final year. In order to provide a buffer as we move through this period, the education department here in New South Wales has done a call out to those teachers.
We want to make sure as we move through, that the plans that we have in place in relation to cohorting students and things like that will ensure that as operationally as possible we have the most seamless transition as we move through.
There’s no doubt there will be issues that come through. It’s not going to be perfect. It will look a bit different to how schooling has been in normal times, but ultimately I think with the plan we put in and taking to national cabinet today, I have confidence we’ll be able to have schooling commence as seamlessly as possible.
