Keeping Cool in Outback Classrooms
For years, teachers relied on large coolers filled with ice and water to keep everyone hydrated. Now, children can simply refill their bottles with clean, cold water throughout the day.

With support from a Variety Queensland grant, the school can ensure every child has what they need to fully take part in school life, from essential stationery, uniforms and shoes, to making sure no child misses out on excursions that broaden their world, along with access to laptops and iPads to help level the playing field.
For children living with complex physical disabilities, cerebral palsy or neuromuscular conditions, traditional ways of learning and communicating can be out of reach, but an eye gaze system is changing that.
