In January of this year ten University of Southern Queensland student teachers, each with their own preconceived idea of the West, were ready to confront the unknown experience of teaching in a rural area in North or South West Queensland, For the next three weeks we would live and breathe the role of a teacher within a rural community and have an unforgettable experience. Through the Isolated Schools Project we would be provided with many advantageous experiences including multi-level planning and timetabling; pupil free days; enrolment and administration procedures. The project would present us with an extremely beneficial teaching experience and an opportunity to discover life within a rural community. After such enjoyable experiences, we would have no hesitation in accepting a teaching position within a small rural community, You have more to gain than to lose through participating in the Isolated Schools Project therefore, we highly recommend other prospective teachers to take up the challenge.
