"In the Nick of Time" invites students and teachers to participate in non threatening, enjoyable activities while developing a range of skills in measuring TIME, problem solving and accessing useful web-based information.

The Quest will offer activities at a range of levels, so will be suitable for all classes, K-6.

A feature of the Quest will be a ”grumpy local” who is writing regular letters to the newspaper and Hornsby Council, complaining about our kids “these days”.

The Quest will challenge the kids of Hornsby to prove, over a period of four weeks, that he has it all wrong.

They will do this by completing weekly web based tasks and contributing to Web-Board chats.

The Quest will culminate in National Literacy and Numeracy Week with an “event” to be revealed in due course.
