History

[edit]

The school opened on 24 January 1966,[4] with an original enrolment of 64.[citation needed] Since then the school has grown larger, with the opening of more blocks over the years, culminating with the opening of the school hall in 1998 and the renovation of a new block in front of the school hall, called H8 and H7 in 2006 and the Kirinari block behind the hall in 2011.[citation needed]

Laptop Curriculum

[edit]

During 2009, Jindalee was the first school in the Centenary suburbs to have laptop classes, in which students do most of their work digitally on laptops.[citation needed] However, the Laptop program was discontinued in 2015 due to the new "BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)" classes.[citation needed]
