Assistance can be given with school work the student has brought to hospital.

Enrolment at Distance Education Tasmania (DET)
School-aged patients, K-10, who stay in hospital for 4 weeks or more, or who have a long recuperation period at home, can be enrolled at DET, either full time or part ime, until they are able to return to their own school. DET enrolment enables students to negotiate an individual education program with a DET teacher.
