We are very excited to announce that our students won first place and a large cash prize in the  "Schools" category of the very prestigious Childnet awards. A team of eight students traveled to London, England April 21-26 and were honored in a special "academy awards" style  ceremony  held in the historic British Museum Of Science.  Many high profile government officials and entertainment stars participated in the event. Besides giving our students the opportunity to attend excellent IT seminars, this event was filmed by BBC television and was widely reported by many media outlets around the world.  A special thanks to the Childnet organizers and to Cable and Wireless (the event's sponsors) for a once-in-a-lifetime week and for the encouragement it has given to our students to keep creating web sites that benefit other children!

1.  Wide implementation of our “School Without Walls” initiative both at our and other schools.

Some older students’ in our “Software Developers In Training” team will continue to work with professional software engineers from Affinisys to enhance and implement our online virtual educational community system. The goal of the project is to continue Willoughby’s quest to make the walls of our school “porous” as students, parents and teachers each have a collection of 15 personal and group (e.g. class and school) online communication, publishing, collaboration and administrative tools that support a wide range of online activities. This year the students are designing html based prototype forms that will be used to develop live online project templates.

Furthermore, we will continue to mentor other schools interested in making their walls transparent.
