Year 9 Netbook Program

The distribution of netbooks to all of the Year 9 students has now occurred and they are already using them in many areas of their learning. This is a very exciting time for both students and staff and the productive and safe use of ICT will be a major focus of the Year 9 program for the rest of the year.


Parents will be kept up-to-date through the Year 9 Portal and information about cyber safety will also be provided to parents and students.














Some of the plans for the near future include the use of online discussion forums, the use of software to organise and enhance note taking skills in the classroom, creation of different forms of media, development of effective research skills and use of the school portal and Virtual Learning Areas to disseminate both curriculum and co-curricula information to students.

Updates about the netbook program will be shared with staff throughout the year.
