    Year 9 students have been issued with their DER laptops, power supplies and cases. The commissioning and distribution of the laptops to around 85 students went smoothly, largely due to the efforts of our TSO Josh Cooper and a visiting TSO.

    By the end of the first day, reports from teachers were positive, with one science class recording results from experiments using the computers and  including photographs of the experiment in their reports.

  • Moodle Trial Begins

    ABHS is trialling an online learning environment called MOODLE. Its purpose is to allow teachers to present course content on line that students can access from home.

    Computing students are trialling the system that allows them to receive notes, homework and assignments on line. They then submit their finished work and it is marked and returned, all within the moodle system. Students also have access to online forums to discuss problems they are having with course content.

Time Capsule Unearthed!

 Outgoing Year 12 students have recently unearthed a time capsule that they buried six years ago whilst they were in Year 7. With two weeks left of school before their HSC, some of the original class dug up the Capsule, under the direction of their then Year 7 teacher Mrs. Curran. It was an interesting exercise, seeing what has endured and what has persished. Thanks to our School General Assistant, Steve Sonter for his orienteering and map making skills!
