00:00Wills on the bus go round and round, round and round.
00:07Working with children is a big responsibility and now these home tutors have recognition.
00:12I guess the course is helpful because I've put in this time and now I have something
00:17to show for it at the end.
00:19From first aid to four wheel driving, the course gives tutors practical skills.
00:23It's definitely helped because it helps you understand more practices and ways to go about
00:27things and the best way to manage certain aspects of your classroom.
00:30More than 350 students in the Northern Territory need home tutors, but the positions can be
00:36hard to fill.
00:38It's hoped this training can offer an incentive to stay working in the outback.
00:42Other benefits of the course include the opportunity to help retain staff throughout the year because
00:48they are doing a training program that is sort of 12 months long.
00:52Also creating pathways for new opportunities.
00:55We have such an education shortage in the Northern Territory, so we would love to see
00:59people develop from our classrooms that have a passion for education, go on and become
01:04teachers for our community.
01:06I think it's worked well for us and if it keeps continuing how it has, I'm sure it will
01:11still be a success.
01:12Eight home tutors from Central Australia have been completing the course this year, but the
01:16aim is to grow the program across the whole Territory and the country.
01:20They are a vital part of our industry.
01:23We cannot do what we do, live and work in the bush without support of home tutors.
01:28A proactive solution for rural communities and remote families.
