Unlike some big cities in Australia, it has very limited types of entertainment, televisIon and movies are their major sources of entertainment, recent  ten years, internet has also become very popular on this island.

Twenty years ago, there was  a programme on a local  TV channel targeted for school students only, it encouraged them to call the programme hotline for asking help for doing their homework. However,  nearly every family has broadband at home nowadays, less and less people paid attention on this programme. A year ago, The producer decided to change the programme name from ' Dial the hotline , Solve homework issues' to ' After school I.C.U'.

All the content in this programme remains unchanged, but it suddenly draw most of people's attention again because of the name , and many primary school students call this hotline just for fun.
