Informative

Published on Jan, 2025

We were the only ones on the tour so it was an excellent experience. From hearing about the School of Air as a child I have wanted to visit. I was so pleased to actually see how it works.

Outback school

Published on Dec, 2024

It was really interesting to see how the school makes every effort to educate students in the far Outback with a lot of creativity.

A must-do when in Alice Springs

Published on Oct, 2024

Such an interesting tour, everyone who visits Alice Springs needs to go. Learned so much about its history, including how communication and resourcing has changed so much over time. And learned how important this service is to kids and their families. And how much fun they can have during their lessons and on their visits to the school throughout the year.

Reccomended attraction in Alice Springs

Published on Jul, 2024

Very interesting and informative. Pity it was school holidays would have been fun to see some of the kids having lessons.

Really interesting

Published on Jul, 2024

Although a relatively short and simple experience, it was still very interesting, especially as we are teachers. Great to see first hand how the operation works. The presenter was informative and open to questions. Worth a visit if you are interested in education.
