Throughout this transition process, I am fortunate in having a strong teaching staff that is well experienced and open to new and innovative ideas, along with a great support staff that have and will continue to help make the transition as smooth as possible for students and parents. 

By working together we can provide a wonderful, high quality learning environment where all students can achieve success and become prepared to pursue future educational, professional and personal goals.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to working with you as we begin this new school year. Please continue to check our website for new information and upcoming events. Our website represents our commitment to connect and engage with our school, students, parents and the wider community.

Welcome to the ISB TechKids podcast series.

If you are new to the concept of podcasting, the simplest way to think about it would be as a voice recording played over the internet as and when needed. It should immediately become obvious that this form of technology has numerous educational benefits covering a wide range of learning opportunities.  

The ISB TechKids podcasts are broadcast at regular intervals except during periods when the school is closed. The podcasts are almost entirely planned, created, managed and edited by the TechKids while Mr. Lowe acts as the advisor for each podcast.

 All music used during the podcasts is found at “The Free Music Archive” and is available under various Creative Commons Licenses and are always clearly attributed to the artists and used in compliance with the relevant Creative Commons license.

The TechKids, ISB and I hope you enjoy the broadcasts and appreciate your support.

In their first ever podcast, the presenters Caleb and Willy welcomed Lachlan from the school’s ECO-Action group and had a brief discussion about why we need to be concerned about saving the rainforests. The boys then talk about a recent FOBISSEA event many students at the school were involved in.
