The two use different methods, so we show both side by side. ### Schools Our map test places 38 government schools inside the council outline, 25 of them primary schools, using Department of Education coordinates. Census night fell in the pandemic, so some travel answers reflect that week. The ABS rounds percentages and slightly perturbs small counts, so table parts can differ from totals by a little. We print each figure as published. Signature project ## The longest school-zone stretch on every road Main Roads lists each school-zone segment with its road, a start and end distance along that road in kilometres, and which carriageway it covers. The question is: for each road, which segment is longest? In SQL, the classic answer is a correlated subquery, an inner query that runs once for every outer row. | Query | Rows | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | GROUP BY road with MAX(length) | 140 | One row per road name; ties are invisible | | Correlated subquery, matched on road name | 143 | Every segment equal to its road's maximum is kept | | Correlated subquery, matched on road ID | 145 | Two road names each cover two separate roads | ### The divided road Warnbro Sound Avenue's longest zone is 0.56 km, listed twice, once for the left carriageway and once for the right. The subquery keeps both, which is correct, and the learner decides whether to report one stretch or two sides. ### Names are not keys Read Street appears under two different road IDs. Grouping by name merges two separate roads into one; grouping by ID keeps them apart and adds rows. ### One-segment roads 67 of the 140 road names have a single school-zone segment, so for them the longest stretch is simply the only one. | Road | Length | Zone type | | --- | --- | --- | | Georgetown Dr | 0.801 km | Time-based 40 km/h school zone | | Swallowtail Pde | 0.69 km | Time-based 40 km/h school zone | | Warnbro Sound Av | 0.56 km, both carriageways | Time-based 40 km/h school zone | ### Counting before trusting The same 408 rows split into 376 time-based school zones and 32 children-crossing zones. Learners first predict the row count of each query from these facts, then run it. When 143 appears instead of 140, they go looking for ties rather than assuming a bug. Segments are from Main Roads' Legal Speed Zones layer for the City of Rockingham, queried on 12 October 2026. Lengths are differences between published start and end distances, and every query result is our own calculation in SQLite. Writing it in SQL ## An inner query that knows its outer row The inner query asks for the longest length on the same road as the outer row. Because it refers to the outer row, it is correlated, and the database runs it for each candidate. | Step | Learner task | | --- | --- | | 1 | Load the segments into SQLite with road name, road ID, start, end, carriageway and zone type. | | 2 | Write the GROUP BY version and the correlated version, and compare their row counts. | | 3 | List every road where the counts differ and explain each tie. | | 4 | Repeat using road IDs and write down which roads changed. | A further question tests understanding: how many segments are longer than the average for their own road? The correlated subquery answers 134. Learners then rewrite it as a join to a grouped table and confirm both approaches agree, which builds trust in either form. Speed matters too, because a correlated subquery repeats work for every row; on 408 rows that is fine, but learners see why an index or a join matters for larger tables. ### Younger learners Find the tallest block in each colour pile, and notice when two blocks share the top spot. ### Teenagers Write all three queries, explain the 140, 143 and 145, and draw the divided road. ### Adults Apply greatest-per-group queries to sales, rosters or sensor logs where ties really happen. Around Rockingham ## Counted roads and 2027 dates Details from Main Roads and the WA Department of Education. ### Traffic counters Main Roads lists 59 traffic count sites in the City of Rockingham, 47 of them with a 2023/24 count year. ### Freeway path The path counter beside Kwinana Freeway south of Paganoni Road averages 58 riders a day, 43 on weekdays and 96 at weekends. ### Term 1, 2027 WA public schools begin Term 1 on Monday 1 February 2027 and finish it on Friday 9 April. Outline used The council area is the ABS outline of about 257.5 square kilometres, drawn as six separate parts. Count sites and school zones are those Main Roads assigns to the City of Rockingham.

[MySQL Course](/courses/mysql-database-complete-masterclass-college)[Data Structures & Algorithms Course](/courses/data-structures-algorithms-masterclass-college)Coding and AI ## If AI writes SQL, why learn it? Because the query that looks right and the query that is right can differ by three rows. An AI assistant asked for the longest segment per road often writes the GROUP BY version. It runs, returns 140 tidy rows and quietly hides the ties on divided roads and the duplicate road names. A Rockingham learner who has predicted 143 knows to ask what happened to the ties, and can tell whether a generated query matches the question being asked. Our classes use AI to draft queries and people to judge them. The longer argument is in [why writing code yourself still matters in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Online classes across Rockingham Lessons are live on video, so families from Safety Bay to Port Kennedy join from home. ### Live lessons A teacher runs each class and checks work as it happens. ### Follows WA terms Classes pause for the state school holidays. ### Free first class One free lesson, then a written course plan. ### Groups of fifteen to twenty Matched by level, or one-to-one if preferred. ### Weekly pattern Two lessons a week, roughly eight a month. ### Indian timing A 6pm Rockingham lesson is 3:30pm in India. One clock all year The IANA time zone database shows Western Australia's last daylight saving ending in March 2009, so Rockingham lesson times stay fixed against India.

FAQ ## Rockingham coding and AI questions Questions from Rockingham families and adult learners. ### How many people live in the City of Rockingham? The 2021 Census counted 135,678 residents. The ABS estimate for 2025 is 159,934. ### What is a correlated subquery? An inner SQL query that refers to a value from the outer query, so it is evaluated for each outer row, such as finding the longest segment on that row's own road. ### Why did 140 roads give 143 rows? Three roads have two segments that tie for longest. One is Warnbro Sound Avenue, where the left and right carriageways share the same 0.56 km zone. ### Is SQL still worth learning with AI tools? Yes. AI writes SQL quickly, but checking it needs someone who can predict how many rows a correct answer should have. ### When can children start databases? Most start SQL around 13, after comparison and sorting games in block code. ### How many school zones are there in Rockingham? Main Roads lists 408 school-zone segments on City of Rockingham local roads, 376 time-based zones and 32 children-crossing zones. ### Do you have a centre in Rockingham? No. Lessons are live online only, we have no Australian office, and our listed phone number is Indian. ### What do Rockingham classes cost? The first lesson is free. Group classes cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, in groups of fifteen to twenty, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. You agree the course and time before paying. ### How are groups decided? By level and pace in groups of fifteen to twenty, not by age or suburb. One-to-one lessons suit anyone no group time fits. ### Do you teach adults? Yes. Adults learn in adult groups or one to one, often with databases from their work.
