Former Port Augusta School of the Air |
| Significance |
The Port Augusta Primary School was the home of the only South Australian School of the Air from 1959 until 1994. Part of a particularly Australian institution, the Port Augusta School of the Air represents a significant aspect of the development of education in the state and also reflects the development of Port Augusta as one of South Australia's major regional centres. Considered at the time to be a revolution in education for the isolated, the Schools of the Air were the inspiration of one of South Australia's most prominent female activists and educators, Miss Adelaide Miethke.
