I'm at Willetton and last year everything was subcontracted to one guy who 
acts as admin. He's a real nice guy, but seems totally green to Linux. So my 
guess is no Squid proxy here yet.

Thankyou. :)

Yes, we're part of the "100 Schools" system. I'm not quite sure what the 
consequences of that means. So far as I know it's going to see most admin 
centralized through Silver City. If it means more rules and less access I 
might do my lolly. Already we're so far behind the ICT reality of most 
workplaces and what kids themselves (nearly all of my students have internet 
access at home) experience nearly every day outside of school. It's a real 
struggle to make learning experiences relevant. :(
