Abstract
The difficulties faced with specific reference to meeting the special needs of Aboriginal children, children with disabilities, children from non-English speaking backgrounds, and children in rural and particularly small and isolated communities are discussed. The efforts by schools concerning children's access to computers and participation in school activities including sports, excursions, social events including fun days which should not be limited by their families' financial situation, is highlighted.
