Internode has stepped on to centre stage to facilitate delivery of a theatre workshop session by the Sydney-based Bell Shakespeare theatre company via the NBN to students at South Australia’s Willunga High School.

The workshop, conducted by the theatre company at the Sydney Opera House was beamed via video link over the NBN to students at Willunga using Internode’s 100 Mbps service as part of the NBN–Enabled Education & Skills Services Program.

Internode, now part of the iiNet Group, connected its first school, Circular Head Christian School at Smithton in Tasmania’s north-west, in the middle of last year, and iiNet CEO, Michael Malone said the Willunga High launch demonstrated the real opportunities available to schools, students and teachers using the NBN.

“The ability to reach across the country so that our national experts can share their passion and skills with local students is truly amazing.
"Just as Australia led the world with School of the Air six decades ago, we’re at the forefront again - using the latest technology to overcome the tyranny of distance. We’re proud to be part of this major change in the way education is being delivered in Australia.”

Willunga High School Deputy Principal, Cathy Trenouth, said that Internode had been very responsive to the school’s emerging needs in the NBN environment by providing a “prompt service, accommodating our need for ‘on the fly’ data plan changes and upgrades.”
