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 Alice Springs School of the Air assists both teachers and students address the ethical understandings contained in the General Capabilities section of the Australian Curriculum. It provides an opportunity to experience a world thousands of kilometres from their own, not just literally but culturally. It provides an insight into a world dominated by isolation and allows visiting students to make connections between their own worlds and the worlds of others. It provides an opportunity to develop abilities to communicate and empathise with others and to analyse intercultural experiences critically. It offers opportunities for them to consider their own beliefs and attitudes in a new light, and so gain insight into themselves and others.
See below for more information regarding our opening times. We will always attempt to accommodate tour groups if you require a time slot outside our regular opening hours. Please contact us to discuss your itinerary. Please note that a surcharge may apply for opening outside regular hours.
Group rates are available on request for a party of 6 or more people, provided the visit is booked in advance and payment is made in one transaction, either in advance or, if pre-approved, on the day.
