The workers — known as 'showies' — are often on the road year-round following the show circuit. But a classroom on wheels ensures the education of their children is not neglected.
But unlike a traditional classroom, Ms Jones doesn't know who will be regularly sitting in on her lessons.Her plan of attack is to follow the curriculum set out by the state Department of Education, which ensures she covers everything that a "regular school child" gets to learn.
Every student has their own laptop and she said the internet consistently runs fast and strong for activities. While it isn't the full conventional experience, she's noted a shift over the decades towards broadening the options available to the show family children. "Many of the families of my generation and the adults are illiterate, and they have such a strong ethical desire for their children and grandchildren to be able to move out into the world and have choices that they didn't have," Ms Jones said.Five-year-old Violet Blades has just started up at the travelling school where she has been practising the alphabet and counting up to the number 10.
In fact, the seven-year-old, who's parents run rides at shows, believes he's actually got a better deal than other students.The Sydney Royal Easter Show opened yesterday and runs until April 17.
