Shoot For The Stars

Teacher Resources


The NBN Long Term Satellite Service will play a critical role in providing access to fast internet speeds for Australians living in remote and regional Australia, enabling new economic and social opportunities for local communities, such as better access to distance education.

These quick and easy teaching resources will help students learn about a range of topics including changes in communication and technology within Australia and globally over the decades, as well as an opportunity to learn more about rockets and satellites.

Would you like your students to win a place in Australia’s history? To celebrate the launch of our satellites from 2015 we're asking Aussie kids to show how the NBN will make Australia a better country in a very unique drawing competition. Find out more about the competition.
