Ok, well Vic is already closed so I don't know why they're waiting. Maybe QLD is on different holiday schedule?
The younger kids are still going because mum is running the covid-clinic and dad is at a mine site. Other brother has older kids so not sure what they're doing - heard online lessons mentioned but don't know how quick they can set that up.

They're closing early so teachers can get online learning up and running in time for after Easter apparently...
As kids, we were often regaled with tales of Flying Doctors and children in remote Australian homes being schooled over shortwave radios. At the time, I suspect we thought all of Australia to be remote and so perhaps all we are seeing is a return to the reality of our youths.
Isn't that because it's school holidays?
In Vic my brother's kids are in "closed" schools with a 30% rotating skeleton staff because their parents are key workers and/or working out of town.
