Cairns School of Distance Education was formerly known as Cairns School of the Air.

It has been providing education to remote families, mostly on massive cattle stations, in Far North Queensland since August 28 1972.

Cairns School of Distance Education is strongly supported by the Parents and Citizens Association.

The P&C’s major fundraising event of each year is the Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride.

This is held during the June/July school holidays.

It has been their primary fundraising source since 1997 and has assisted in the construction of their multi-purpose building, funding school excursions and general resourcing of their school.

Their explicit improvement agenda focuses our attention on the following:

• high quality teaching and learning
• knowledgeable and high performing teams
• quality learning relationships
• learning spaces for 21st Century.

I am raising money for educational opportunities for children living in the outback and remote areas.

I am a sixty one year old, breast cancer survivor who has been training up week after week to raise money for this great cause.  I will be riding along with my husband, two of my sons, my brother and sister in law.

Please help me to raise funds for children in remote areas to access educational, sporting and cultural opportunities by making a donation. Any small amount will make a difference.

I am looking forward to the challenge and spirit of the ride and enjoying the beautiful Australian outback by bike!
