SCHOOL OF THE AIR


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 cant 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 havent 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 students house. Teachers
and students can also meet at the Sports Carnival. This takes place once a
year on playing fields in Alice Springs. Students dont have to go, but it is a
great way for them to do sport together and to make friends.
