About REVISE |
REVISE is a volunteer organisation which provides qualified education workers to support the learning of isolated students. REVISE teachers travel to remote locations for placements which are usually of three to six weeks' duration. While on placement, REVISE teachers work with School of the Air (SOTA) Port Augusta staff, supervising children's lessons. The placement supports or in many cases provides respite for the usual supervisor (mother or governess).

Becoming a REVISE volunteer provides an opportunity for enthusiastic retired teachers and other qualified education workers to travel to interesting locations, experience life in remote communities and meet and live with families on isolated properties.

Volunteers also find that they enjoy continuing to use their skills and expertise to help young people's learning. They are also stimulated by involvement with innovative delivery methods; specifically satellite based video learning technology. REVISE teachers often form long term connections and friendships with station families and communities where they take placements.
