this is a service provided by the nsw gov, I doubt that it's compulsory and so 
probably doesnt count as a deprivation of anyone's rights.  You agree, you use 
you dont agree, you dont use, fairly standard T&Cs in today's climate I would 
have thought.  It has the added advantage of providing, in theory at least, a 
'safe' environment and allows the government to meet its duty of care obligation 
to children at school.
