Whatever the case, wherever you are from! We want to partner with you to bring your clients a unique and engaging Northern Territory experience.
Alice Springs School of the Air Experience is a much loved feature on the itinerary of many tours and travel experiences to Central Australia. If you are looking to develop a tour to Alice Springs, we’d love to partner with you to ensure your clients get to experience our unique and authentic attraction, located a mere 5 minutes drive north of the CBD.
Upon arrival at Alice Springs School of the Air Visitor Centre we provide your group with a local guide to welcome your clients. Your clients will discover the evolution of our school through engaging displays, a presentation by your friendly guide and an in-house film. Your clients will observe the interactions between our teachers and students during a live or pre-recorded lesson in one of our five broadcasting studios. Please allow a minimum of 45 minutes for the presentation, tour and shopping.
A visit to the Alice Springs School of the Air offers valuable support for educators and students in addressing the ethical dimensions outlined in the General Capabilities section of the Australian Curriculum. This experience presents a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a world vastly different from their own, both geographically and culturally. It fosters an understanding of communities marked by geographical isolation and encourages students to forge connections between their own lived experiences and those of others. Moreover, it cultivates essential skills in communication, empathy, and critical analysis of intercultural encounters.
By engaging with our program, students have the chance to reevaluate their own perspectives and attitudes, gaining valuable insights into themselves and the diverse perspectives of others.
