Year 5 Laptops

Next week will be a very exciting week for the Year 5 boys. Next Friday 14 February boys and parents will attend a session detailing all of the important information about using and looking after their new machines before moving off to receive their new MacBook Air notebooks.

There is much to learn about these machines, both for the students and parents alike. For the students we have the 1Degree staff to assist the teachers and students directly when issues arise. Current parent workshops are advertised on home.scotch - Parent link, with workshops such as "Managing Laptops @ Home - Strategies for Effective Use" and "Introducing you to Apple Mac", to help parents navigate the new device with their sons.

We look forward to updating the community with our progress as the boys become familiar with using their new MacBook Air notebooks to enhance their learning.
