Halinda SSP as a Learning Community

Powered by Podbean.com

Halinda School for Special Purposes aims to be a learning community.

Halinda SSP teachers recently attended the 2007 PSP SSP Conference held at the Rydges Rosehill NSW. Based on what we learnt we came up with this little podcast at our workgroup.

More Thanks

More thanks to Ken O'Brien whom has been an exemplary Technical Advisor for the school over the last few months and who came out to configure our wireless data system and set up an Apple lab for us on Wednesday.

Two Boards per Grade by the End of the Year !

Halinda is one of the best equipped SSPs in the Western Sydney Region. It has been a long technological journey from the old school site to the new school venue.

The process of funding, ordering and commissioning new technologies such as the interactive whiteboards has been in planning since before we arrived at our new site. We now have three fixed boards in use and two mobile boards in use in the school.

Plans are underway to order a third mobile board. This will make 2 per grade by the end of the year. A great boon to the technological literacy of the student population.

Getting the Wobbles

The low slung projector installation is too enticing for the Primary Case Study Group. So much so, the projector now swings from side to side rather too freely ! Such are the teething troubles of whiteboards in schools full of active students.

Our students learn by exploration and the temptation to learn about head hieght whiteboard projectors is a tactile challenge.

Processes are in train to raise the height of the projector.
