Schools Of The Air Overview
Schools of the Air provide education for students from years P - 7 located
in remote areas such as isolated stations and minesites. Traditionally,
lessons have been delivered using the RFDS HF radio network, however, Email
and other technologies have also been introduced to improve interaction
amongst students, supervisors, home tutors and teachers to enhance learning
outcomes. Electronic mail is also used to reduce the time required for the
distribution, assessment and return of lessons to students. Teachers regularly
visit remote home locations to advise and assist home tutors, parents and
students. Mini camps and school camps provide students with the opportunity
of socially interacting with their peers and to ensure exposure to cultural
and arts programs as well as to a range of school based activities such
as art, drama, music and literacy.
