For Parents
REVISE WA has been established to meet a very real need of geographically isolated families who are teaching their children through the School of Isolated and Distance Education. The principal aim of the scheme is to provide the means of linking tutors and families to provide relief in the teaching of their children.
Our tutors are mostly retired teachers, fully qualified and holding a current WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK. They enjoy travelling and learning about the outback. Often a partner (usually not a teacher) will accompany the tutor and usually are more than willing to provide an extra hand around the station sharing their differing skills.
REVISE WA organises and pays for tutor travel. Otherwise tutors are unpaid. It is expected that you will provide accommodation, including meals.
Parents are requested to make some contribution towards the cost of tutor travel. Transport and insurance costs for our volunteer group have increased so that your contribution of a suggested $300 is needed. However, any amount is appreciated and should be paid to REVISE WA. If you would like to contribute kindly contact us at revisewa@bigpond.com. Should there be any difficulty in meeting costs or part of the costs, please discuss the matter with the Coordinator or Chairman. No parent is denied tutor assistance on the grounds of inability to pay.
The tutor will be a guest of your homestead for several weeks so full accommodation is required. In a few cases tutors are prepared to bring their own caravans as accommodation.
If you believe your family would benefit from having a REVISE WA tutor submit an application.
