Sixteen eager, curious, faces from six to twelve years looked back at me on this, my first day of school in Gunpowder. To set the scene: it was a small, rural community near Mount Isa in central Queensland. The classroom was big. It fitted all of the students' desks in a U shape, the teacher's desk, three work stations and had floor space to spare. Last year's work hung from the walls and ceiling. I was working with the principal and sole teacher Mrs Jacques. I was nervous, excited and eager to start this new year. Having participated in the Isolated Children's Project at the beginning of 1998, when the opportunity arose to participate in the Isolated Schools Project 9ISP) again, I leapt at the chance to apply for a second time'. As a soon-to-be graduate, I wanted to gain as much experience in as many various teaching avenues as I could. This was the perfect opportunity.
