A special education kit was developed by the Office of Multicultural Affairs with assistance from the News South Wales Department of Education in 1988 (prior to the play's publication the following year). It comprises the playscript, reviews of performances, educational activities, information on multiculturalism and immigration in Australia, a video recording of the production, sound cassettes of songs from the play and an interview with the dramaturg, Tom Burvill.
