Laptop Curriculum
editDuring 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]
