These special Skills.net in Schools grants are for schools in rural, regional and remote areas where there is no existing Skills.net project, and where the school is the main community focal point. Facilitate after hour's access by the community to the schools' Internet facilities. Record and monitor the effectiveness of schools as venues for Skills.net projects. The Skills.net in Schools program is aimed at helping schools in the smallest rural and remote towns in Victoria provide Internet training and access facilities for their communities. Schools in larger regional towns, where there may be existing Skills.net projects or the local library provides access, are encouraged to apply for funding but to be successful they must show a demonstrated need for more community Internet training and access points in the town.
All grants are for once only funding.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon Friday 11th June 1999.
