"The Minister for Education and Training Verity Firth will join 30 students from remote
parts of NSW who will use the latest technology including laptops, interactive whiteboards,
web streaming and videoconferencing as part of a new virtual selective school.
The Government’s new xsel program allows academically gifted students in remote areas to
remain at home, close to their family and friends, instead of travelling to regional centres to
attend selective schools."
