Lansdowne School gave a big thank you to the Lansdowne Uniting Church Fellowship for a very generous donation of $1000 to assist with the cost of their intensive swimming scheme in term four.

This donation assists with the cost of the bus to take students to the pool each day.

Swimming lessons will commence on Monday, November 26.

The Lansdowne School has been very fortunate to borrow a robotics kit from the Department of Education STEM Share Robotics Program for term four.

This kit will give the students the opportunity to use a variety of educational robotic resources for the term.

There are robots suitable for each stage in the kit.

Students will learn how to code the robots and engage in STEM challenges.
