T4L resources for Term 4 now available
The Term 4 Technology 4 Learning (T4L) online resources are now available and provide some great tech solutions for the classroom.
T4L Kids magazine
T4L Kids magazine is a self-guided independent learning resource that aims to provide students with purposeful challenges to engage them in creating content and enhancing their problem-solving skills using technology.
The latest issue of T4L Kids is all about the world of amazing animals. Meet our cover star, Matilda the therapy dog, and go behind the scenes for a day in her busy working life at a Sydney school. Catch up with Microlight Milly, a zoologist flying around Australia following migratory shorebirds at a bird’s-eye level. T4L also chats with deadly scientist Corey Tutt and follows the Tassie Devil trail with illustrator Max Hamilton.
There are three exciting challenges for students who are keen to explore animals, raise awareness of an animal issue or boost their next animal project!

Next were speeches, then a trip down memory lane with images from the past 6 years on a Power Point, then the Graduation signed bears and the cutting of the cake.
