It's pointless and unnecessary now.
Some bright spark said it's because it's light when the kiddie-winks are going to and from school. Any kids I've seen embarking on this trip, are usually ferried there in mummy or daddy's four by four.
I think you have it bit backwards. The winter time is the time that we get less sunlight, and the time we have in winter is the right time. The time gets changed in summer, when it is light early in the morning and by everybody getting up an hour earlier than we would normally get up, we get more day hours in the evening after work. Not really relevant for children going to or from school.
Daylight saving has many benefits in southern states, the only inconvenience is to dairy farmers because cows do not come with the reset button. But clever farmers can train their cows to come to the milking shed in response to whistle or bell. My goats would come when I whistled. And while I tried to get up and milk them everyday roughly the same time, it really depended on how early I had to get up = anytime between 6am and 8am. They came when I called them with my whistle.
