SCHOOL OF THE AIR
“Aprendemos con Excelencia en la Confianza y el Afecto”
Australia is an enormous country, but is has a population of only 20 million. Some families
live on farms, hundreds of kilometers from a town or city. Children from these families can’t
travel to school every day, so many of them use a special school: the Australian School of
the Air.
There are twelve Schools of the Air in Australia and over 1,000 students use them. Students
of the School of the Air haven’t got lessons in classrooms with other students. They study at
home on their own. The teachers at the School of the Air prepare lessons and send them
to the students by post or e-mail. The students have to work on these lessons for five or six
hours a day, Monday to Friday. They send their work to the teachers once a week and
discuss it by radio or over the internet. They can also borrow books from the school library.
The books arrive by post.
Once or twice a year, a teacher visits every student at home. The teacher spends a day
with the students, helps them with their work and discusses problems. The teacher often
has dinner with the family and stays for a night at the student’s house. Teachers and
students can also meet at the Sports Carnival. This takes place once a year on playing
fields in Alice Springs. Students don’t have to go, but it is a great way for them to do sport
together and to make friends.
