More Details

There were 26 teaching staff and 11 non-teaching staff in 2010.

Charleville School of Distance Education was established in 1966 as the Charleville School of the Air - becoming the Charleville School of Distance Education in 1989. High frequency radios were replaced by telephones in 2001.

Now all classroom teachers use ICT in their delivery of on-air lessons. This includes the use of Web Conferencing, email, the Blackboard virtual learning environment and other Web 2.0 tools.
