Graphic Organisers Are Go . . .

Graphic Organisers are currently being integrated into classroom programmes at Oranga School. They are included in reading programmes and as part of inquiry learning. More professional development for teachers about different graphic organisers will continue in 2008.

Laptops in Action

Students at Oranga now have access to 13 Apple Mac laptops that can be transported around the school in a 'cow' (computers on wheels). They are using the laptops for internet research, kidpix slideshows, reading programmes, iphoto, imovie, inspiration, computer skills and basic word processing.
