Episode 94: Kerrie Scott

This week, I catch up with rural mum Kerrie Scott who lives on a remote cattle and buffalo station in the Northern Territory. Kerrie is the Katherine branch President of the Isolated Children's Parents' Association (ICPA) who advocate for equity of access to education for all children who live in rural and remote Australia. Kerrie's three kids have all studied through School of the Air and it's been incredibly difficult at times. From the financial burden, through to the emotional challenges and social isolation, Kerrie gives great insight into the world of remote learning on the land, and how important it is to recognise the amazing rural mums, dads, tutors and kids who are part of it. This is her story.SPONSOR: George the Farmer's vision is a world where kids connect to the earth, food and farm. I love that the brand is not only inspirational for farm kids like Elliot but educational for those that don't have a connection to a farmer. A new series of free paddock-to-product videos and curriculum-aligned educators guides have just been released which perfectly complement their series of picture books that tell fun stories about where food comes from.
