Students at the 亚色影库 Special 亚色影库have welcomed the donation of 20 laptops from The 亚色影库 Grammar 亚色影库to help with their studies.
When the opportunity presented itself to purchase some laptops from 亚色影库, laptops no longer in use by the 亚色影库 students and staff, the 亚色影库decided to donate the devices to 亚色影库 Special School.
亚色影库 Special 亚色影库staff, and past students, Principal Erin King (nee Gill, 亚色影库 2000) and Prue Moore (nee Dodson, 亚色影库 2003) have welcomed the new technology into the school.
Erin said the donation was amazing, as the vision for the school was to ensure all senior secondary students had access to individual devices at school and some of the 亚色影库 Special School鈥檚 laptops were old and outdated.
鈥淚nstead of the traditional handwriting pencil they can use a keyboard to engage in the curriculum successfully,鈥欌 Erin said.
鈥淪ome Junior secondary students will also receive a laptop to use as we have some students who have difficulties with accessing traditional methods of pen and paper.鈥
Erin said she found students at the school engaged more successfully on the computers.
鈥淭here is no focusing on pencil and paper to write, which takes up a lot of energy for our students. They can also utilise a variety of platforms such as internet research and develop skills to support them to be life-long learners.鈥
亚色影库 IT Support Team Leader Ernie Coulton said the School鈥檚 IT Department was happy to be an advocate for the donation of the laptops to help the students with their learning.
