KEY POINTS:
An Australian school has found a novel way to stop lovesick students fawning over each other in the schoolyard: by enforcing a "two bricks" separation rule.
Brauer College, a secondary school at Warrnambool in the south-west, uses the rule to keep students at least 30cm apart.
Principal Michael Cusick said it was designed to eliminate and minimise the possibility of "inappropriate contact".
