    As a retired teacher, I loved seeing how this facility reaches out to teach students and their tutors in such remote places. Congratulations on your hard work. The tour was excellent and definitely a must see in Alice for teachers, parents and children.

    Was a great experience to see how the school of the air has transgressed from peddle power radio to state of the art internet. Also seeing how the teachers interact as if in a normal classroom

    This was an amazing experience. If traveling to or stopping in Alice Springs you need to put this at the top of your list of things to see. Recommend.
