Distance Education Tasmania (DET) is located in Derwent Park, Tasmania. Established ninety years ago, DET provides educational programs across Tasmania to K-10 students who are geographically isolated, ill, travelling for extended periods, pregnant or enable to attend school for a variety of other reasons. The school also provides teachers for schoolrooms within hospitals in Hobart and Launceston, and provides resources for Tasmanian home educators. The school has a strong commitment to blended learning processes and therefore uses a variety of delivery modes to support students, who enter and exit the school across the year. As well as paper-based materials, the internet (e.g. email and course management systems), the phone, home visits, residentials, and regional get-togethers are used. Distance Education Tasmania is committed to the goal that students should have the opportunity to achieve to his or her potential and supports teachers to work together to design personalised learning opportunities for all students. Distance Education Tasmania is also committed to working with its community and maintains a rich program of contact and communication with parents across Tasmania.
