It’s school, but not as you know it
Distance Education School is a new phenomena in Australia. Students ‘attend’ classes online, away from the Launceston school campus.
This distance education mode of school offers students a truly unique alternative to the regular school campus experience.
This option has proven popular. The Australian Christian College Group is the largest independent distance education provider in Australia.
Distance Education students work with their peers throughout Tasmania, sharing their opinions and reflecting on what they have learned in class discussions. They complete assessment tasks appropriate to the subjects, including exams, essays and multimedia projects.
Primary and high school students also have the opportunity to build friendships with students their age and discuss common interests outside of school. The distance education student community is vibrant, active and positive with lots of talk on things like computer games, sports, TV shows, movies, books and much more.
