Ironside's Laptop Program is in its 10th year of implementation and is highly popular with our middle school. From year 4 parents are able to purchase a laptop for their child to participate in the program.
Recent research shows that effective middle schooling programs come about when a school ethos focuses on success, student engagement and achievement; and a laptop program has been implemented on these criteria.
Participation in the laptop program will enhance your child’s potential to develop:
- as a quality producer,
- as an active investigator,
- as an effective communicator,
- as a community contributor,
- as a leader and collaborator,
- as a designer and creator
- and as a reflective, self-directed learner
In Term 4 each year a parent information night is held for parents to provide detailed information on joining the program.
