Edmodo

Edmodo is an internet based application that allows teachers and students to communicate. Students join a group which has been set up for their class by their teacher. Teachers post reminders about tasks and due dates, copies of lost tasks, hints for tasks, etc. Students can ask questions of their teachers and class mates, aimed at improving their performance on specific tasks. At this stage we have not enabled parent access directly, but parents can have their children log on and thus see everything that the students can see.

 

Missing Texts

 

The Science faculty makes use of Core Science Volumes 1 to 4 for students in Years 7 to 10.  At the moment we have a number of these texts missing from the labs where they are used by all members of the junior school.

If any students have copies of these texts at home it would be appreciated if they could be returned to the Science faculty as soon as possible.  To replace the missing texts places a considerable financial burden on the Science faculty budget.
