ABC Education: Free Educational Programs for Students
Did you know that ABC and ABC iView offer free educational programs designed specifically for students? It’s a fantastic resource for homeschoolers and families looking to add structured, quality learning into their day without extra cost, and this is why we often recommend it as a great resource to add into your child’s yearly educational program.
These programs are:
-
Available during school terms.
-
Broadcast on school days from 9am on ABC Entertains channel.
-
Organised so that the youngest students’ programs air first, with content for older age groups following as the day progresses.
-
Covering a wide range of subjects and topics, from science and history to the arts and beyond.
What’s especially helpful is that ABC provides a full TV guide for the term, allowing you to plan your homeschooling schedule around the programs you want to watch. This means you can be intentional about incorporating them into your weekly lessons, or simply dip in when you need something engaging and educational.
But it doesn’t stop there — on the ABC Education website you’ll also find free resources linked to most programs. These can include activity sheets, brainstorming topics, discussion guides, and extension tasks, all the things that complement the content and help reinforce learning. It’s a ready-made package of teaching and learning materials that takes the pressure off planning everything from scratch.
For homeschoolers, this is a goldmine. You can:
Tick off key learning areas by aligning programs with your child’s educational plan or your educational plan with the programs on offer.
Give your kids access to Australian-made educational content.
Mix up your day with a balance of screen-based learning and hands-on activities.
