School Review

As mentioned in our last newsletter our school is currently in the process of conducting our school review. This coming Monday we will be spending the day examining our data, visiting classrooms, and talking to our students.

 

School Computers

At the school council meeting last week we discussed our plan for providing devices for every student in the school over the next two years. Although parents have been able to purchase BYO devices for students in the past few years there has not been a huge uptake by families. If 2020 has taught us anything at all, it is that we need all our students to have equal access to technology. This year we will be purchasing netbooks for all our Year 5 & 6 students. These devices will be individually assigned to each student and remain in their classroom for their use. Children generally will not take the devices home, only under special circumstances such as extended illness or state lockdown. Students will still be able to purchase their own devices and bring them to school if they wish to have devices that they take home. We have also ordered ipads for all our 2021Preps. Next year we will distribute our current devices and purchase some extra devices so that every child has a device that they can use when they need it.
