: This research used existing data that was collected as part of the 2019 WEC; an administrative data collection managed and governed by the South Australian DfE. According to DfE protocols, caregivers of students invited to participate in the WEC were provided with an information letter prior to the collection and were able to withdraw their child from participating if desired. Students were then able to opt out of participating in the WEC, either before or at any point during their completion of the online survey. These processes adhere to consent procedures required by DfE for their internal data collections.We conducted a secondary analysis of existing, de-identified 2019 WEC data with approval from the data custodians, the South Australian DfE. Research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Ethics approval for the current study was granted by the University of Western Australia Human Research Ethics Committee (RA/4/20/6095).
