 Ollie Goes Outback with Australia Post

Australia PostOver 100 children in remote areas of NSW received the science lesson of their lives. Science teacher, Phill Higgins, better known to the children as 'Phiggles The Flying Scientist', recently visited 11 outback stations and 4 schools around 360 kilometres north and south of Broken Hill.

After teaching science at University for 32 years, Phill retired and wanted to find a way to share his knowledge and enjoyment of science and make a difference to young people.

"I decided to learn how to fly so I could travel to remote locations," said Phill. "I worked with the Education Department to develop a science program for primary school children and added lots of interactive activities to make it more fun."

During his travels Phiggles gave 76 families a copy of the Ollie Saves the Planet CD ROM to use in their home schooling activities.

Phill Higgins and his flying science program and the distribution of Ollie CD’s is proudly sponsored by Australia Post.
