iPad Information Sessions
A big thank you to parents and students who waited patiently on Thurday night to receive an iPad! There was quite an atmosphere of excitement in the Maroondah campus auditorium and many very thoughtful questions were asked of the team. Most of the roll out is now completed. The remaining families yet to be allocated an iPad will have one early in the week of the 13th. Just a reminder that all the documents relating to the iPads can be found here. If you haven't applied, yet that is no problem. Simply fill out the payment form provided, deliver it to the main office and the order will be processed promptly. It may take up to 14 days for the school to receive the iPads from the supplier. So the earlier you order the more quickly you will receive the unit. A parent left an eye glass case in the auditorium during the presentation, it can be collected at the Croydon campus main office.
New Network-Important Announcement!Work has been underway since Christmas to build a new computer network to bring together the Croydon and Maroondah Secondary College campuses. As a result, when staff and students return in February, all wireless devices will need to be reconfigured before they will be able to connect. Netbooks etc will not initially be able to access the new network. The technical team will work through each year level in the first few days of school to complete this one-off task. We request the patience of staff and students during this time as there will unavoidably be some disruption to normal IT service delivery. Students should make sure they have a complete back up of all data on their devices as a new operating system will be installed and all existing data overwritten. Cultural Diversity Week

Final FONO for 2011 a smashing success!
The End of Year FONO was held in M3 last Wednesday evening. For the first time in a few years the weather was perfect and the audience was able to be seated outside.There were great performances by students from all year levels. Among the many highlights were some great junior school items including Sui Men Hliang , Sung Sung Khi Teng and Jerry Jahau from Year 7A doing a version of the song 'Rebel' and the year 8 rock band featuring Sui Kheng Lawt, Andy Booth, Rhys Burrows, Reina Lightowler and Chelsea Richardson.(Gallery follows)From Year 9 Katie Chamberlain and Luke Montgomery did a great duet with song 'Stay' and Katie also belted out 'Crush Crush Crush' and 'Girls just Wanna Have Fun' with the year 9 rock band.There was a lot of talent on display form the Year 10s with various combinations of Tahlia Haworth-Hooker, Skye Blake, Elissa Hamilton and Tanith Macreadie Day creating some memorable moments.However, the show was almost stolen by Kent Roman and Jake'Reggie'Register Hill with their rap item.FONO would not be the same without a great contribution from Y12 student Jaron 'JJ' Why on piano, mixer, guitar, vocals and sometimes just playing the clown. We will certainly miss him! Thanks again to all students who performed and the family and friends who came along to support them on the night. See you all again next year!
