Abstract

Typically, schools are overflowing with sirens, bustling classrooms and children playing. However, this all changed with the global pandemic as education delivery was reformed to align with federal, state and territory regulations. For most Australian children, delivery shifted to ‘remote’ online learning. Yet, what were the experiences of children and their families living in remote locations? This presentation will explore the impact of COVID-19 on First Nations children and their families specifically, in the Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi region of the Western Desert.
