School of the Air is the name of a group of schools
catering for primary and secondary education in the
outback of Australia. There are vast distances between
communities in the outback so the number of children is
too small for conventional schools to operate. Therefore,
for the past fifty years students (1)
(teach) over great distances using wireless technology.
Until 2003, classes (2) (conduct)
using shortwave radio, after which most schools
(3) (decide) to switch to the
Internet.
Nowadays, each student (4) (get)
a one-hour group or individual lesson from the teacher
and the rest of the day (5) (spend)
working through the assigned material. In the past
students (6) (receive) their course
materials and returned their written work using the
Royal Flying doctor service. However, the Internet has
meant students’ homework can (7)
(review) more rapidly. As the children
(8) (isolate), School of the Air is
their first chance to socialise with other children outside
their immediate family. Three to four gatherings
(9) (held) every year where
children (10) (travel) to the
school to spend a week with their teacher and
schoolmates. The Alice Springs School of the Air has
160 students spread over 1,300,000 square kilometres and
(11) (know) as the ‘World’s Largest
Classroom’. Tourists can visit the Alice Springs School and
observe live classes or they may (12)
(show) recorded lessons.
