		<title>Survey shows school environment impacts on behaviour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amidst the multitude of stories about Building Schools for the Future in the past few weeks, there has been little up to date research quoted about the impact of school environments &#8211; and a lot of incredibly woeful debates and uninformed accounts saying &#8220;do school buildings matter?&#8221;.

		<title>Free schools &#8211; connecting the dots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The news has been full of stories about Free Schools recently. We have seen stories that concentrate on parent power and the freedom to set their own curriculum, and in contrast we have seen stories concentrating on how shops such as Woolworths and other buildings will be converted to house these schools.
