Term One:

Our 1-1 laptop program will begin again in 2012.  On the 25th of January from 12 to 3 pm the parents of the Year five students will be collecting their MacAir laptops.  As the whole cluster of schools are involved, the pick up venue is Ashdale Secondary College where you can also collect the book list items ordered.   This year the parent steering committe has organised for assistance in setting up the machines and a quick orientation of how to get started.  A classroom has been made available for a team of experienced users to guide parents though the first settings and creating their accounts.

School will commence for students on Wednesday the 1st of February.   During this week  staff and students will be establishing routines and class agreements.  The year Five students will be undertaking digital citizenship activities prior to the use of their laptops so will not need them for the first three days of school.  The Year Six students are required to bring their laptops from the first day.

In Term 4, 2011, hundreds of students from Landsdale Primary drafted, edited, typed and emailed texts for the school’s first-ever collection of student writing ‘Stories from the Schoolyard’.  Their finished work is  available for you to purchase.  This wonderful keepsake will make a perfect gift for parents, children, grandparents and friends.  ‘Stories from the Schoolyard’ is available as a bound paperback book (143 pages) which will be delivered to your door for only $12 plus $8 postage.
Books will be printed and delivered by lulu.com (an online book printing service). To order, simply visit www.lulu.com and search for ‘Landsdale’.
The Year Seven graduation book (Memories of Landsdale)  is also available for purchase from Lulu.com.
