An interesting piece of information from the 1939 Harcourt School register.
"On November 12 our enterprising Board installed for School use a new Marconi Radio which throughout the winter months and balance of the year proved to be a very interesting and inspiring teaching innovation. All credit to a Board so progressive in outlook as to sponsor this newist of teaching aids for the improvement of an outlying District. One result being in December Kennaway School showed the best percentage of attendance of all Schools in the area."
(from Valerie Smiths's book, Harcourt's Sons and Daughters, 2003)
That was 74 years ago. Imagine what a 'progressive improvement' could be in 2087.
