Microbee's on 60 Minutes in 1982 - ChickenMan - 02-08-2026
Thanks to kimjohn for bringing these to my attention.
On 4 April 1982, MLC School, Sydney made history as the first school in Australia to bring computers into classroom learning.
Each student in Kent House’s 5W class received a Microbee desktop computer, launching the pioneering Computer Aided Learning Project.
It was so groundbreaking that 60 Minutes filmed a segment, calling it “the first of its kind in Australia, and possibly the world.”

Also, the Prendiville Catholic College, Perth show off the Microbee being used back in 1986. Check it out also, at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1C4x1GzPK1/ In the first 1986 pic, top left corner you see the Microbee Starnet server with HD.
