Lord Howe Island Central School (Australia)

Figure 1.--Lord Howe Island is a small island in the Tasman Sea, 600 kilometres east of the Australian mainland, with about 350 inhabitants. Lord Howe Island Central School has been operating since 1879. The school currently has approximately 30 students (1st-6th grades). There is no secondary school on the Island. High school students can attend the school, but there are no classes above the 6th grade level. The students are enrolled in a distance education program. The other choice for the older children is to attend boarding schools in Sydney or Brisbane. Most of the pupils go to school by bike. The school like many Australian schools has a compulsory, but very basic uniform. The climate has no great changes trough the year, so the uniform is always the same. The footwear are not part of the uniform. It seems that many children attend basrefoot, but they wear shoes if they so desire.
