Technology News

This year at Corrimal East we have some excellent activities planned for students to make use of a range of technologies across the curriculum.
Over time, students will be building digital portfolios in the form of a website which will be published inside the school. These portfolios can be viewed from computers on the school network allowing students to share their work and showcase various talents.
Students can also save their sites to a USB drive to take home and view on any computer. Already our Stage 3 students have started and are keen to continually add content to their sites.

Mini Movies
This year we will be entering the Illawarra South East Region Mini Movies Festival, which is organised by a group of very dedicated local teachers. Public schools from right across the region enter this competition every year. In November, all schools involved can attend the official screening of all the short films at a local cinema. This is something I have done with my previous schools and students really enjoy it. Watch this space!

DET Portal
To access student email accounts from home, go to: http://portal.det.nsw.edu.au
Any student who forgets their password should see me on Thursday or Friday.

School Website
Our school website is regularly updated with photos, news and events. The address is www.corrimale-p.schools.nsw.edu.au
Soon we should have some student creations to showcase. Bookmark the site and visit often!
