E-volution of education - Hannah Edwards, Sydney Morning Herald
A 24-hour school with no traditional classrooms and where students use mobile phones and laptops to learn is being built in Sydney. Designers of the Catholic school for 1700 pupils say it will keep students interested in learning and reduce truancy and behavioural problems. Pupils from kindergarten to year 12 can attend the school - being built at Stanhope Gardens, in Sydney's north-west - between 6am and 10pm. They can also have access to their work and lesson material at any time on the internet. Staff will provide online tutorials from 8pm to 10pm.
