Dear Parents
Mrs Hardman will start a new and innovative Robotics course for Year 5 and 6 students at Yale Primary, starting in week nine of this term. Mrs Hardman has been working with John Townley from Southern River College and the Robotics teacher from South Thornlie. Mrs Hardman put out an expression of interest to the Year 5 and 6 students recently and had 15 applications.
The students will learn coding and Lego Robot building skills that will hopefully stand them in good stead when they head to high school. I would like to thank Mrs Hardman for the hard work she is doing in this area of Science at our school as she seeks to offer our students the opportunity to extend themselves. This program only became possible when the Southern River College won a substantial grant for three years through Schools Plus and the Microsoft Corporation.
John Townley will support Mrs Hardman in her endeavours to implement robotics at Yale.
We look forward to seeing the result.
Principal Glen Read
