OneNote Workshop
If anyone would like to get to know OneNote a little better, I’m running a little workshop on Wednesday lunchtime, in D203. Everyone is welcome, though my focus will be on the basics for those unfamiliar with OneNote Class Notebooks.
We will cover:
-How to navigate the OneNote app
-Setting up OneNote Class Notebooks
-Troubleshooting common issues
-Examples of ‘best’ (my) practice.
Please bring your MacBook, and feel free to bring some lunch – we’ll start at 1pm to allow time to grab some grub.
Thursdays – EE & PP Support in the Library
EE & PP Support – Every Thursday 3:15 – 4:15 PM in the NIS Library.
Use this time to ask for advice, conduct research or simply as a quiet space to focus.

#PhoneFreeMonday – Challenge Smashed!
A huge shout out to the Grade 11 students choosing to accept the challenge by ditching their phones, yesterday. A total of 35 phones graced the safe in Ms Ham’s office for the day without thumb twitching, brow sweats or trauma. Huge props to the two Grade 12 lads also choosing to take part of their own volition, #rolemodels #phonefreeMonday
The challenge is open to anyone in the MS/US for the rest of the week. Swing by the offices of Mrs Clarke or Ms Ham and drop off your phone on your way to block 1. Free yourself from the tethers of social media and connect authentically with your community.
