The Alice Springs School of the Air Visitor Centre has welcomed visitors since 1996, enabling visitors to gain an insight into remote education and discover what it’s like to live and go to school in Outback Australia.  Set up as an initiative of the School Council, the Visitor Centre is much like a school fete, raising funds for student enrichment programs and for the purchase of expensive equipment.

Who owns the Visitor Centre?

The Visitor Centre, under the ownership of the School Council, supports the Alice Springs School of the Air, which operates as a government-funded institution. Despite being remote, the cost of providing education here rivals that of traditional face-to-face schools. Thanks to admission fees, purchases at our store, and generous donations, the Visitor Centre raises vital funds for the school. Every visitor and customer plays a crucial role in supporting our school's success. Additionally, you can contribute by donating during your visit or anytime through our website.


How can you donate?

The School of the Air is an essential and much loved part of children’s lives in Outback Australia, and we greatly appreciate donations of any amount to help enhance their education experience.

We thank you for keeping our more than 70-year history alive and supporting our Outback children that always ‘learn remotely!
