NEWPORT Uskmouth Rotary has gained support from Virgin Media for their Laptops 4 Home Learning initiative. The community organisation has been refurbishing and donating laptops to schools in the area to help children learning from home - and has been providing around 20 computers per week. And last month Rotary president Anne Jackson-Bass was contacted by Bonnie Hall, Virgin Media’s connections manager Cymru, who offered to donate 80 new Chomebook computers and dongles - which allow internet access. The computers have now been handed over to Llanwern, Lliswerry and John Frost High Schools. Sian Smith, deputy headteacher at Llanwern High School said: “We are so grateful to Virgin Media for their incredibly kind donation - it means that 27 identified pupils from our school will have full, equitable access to the excellent online teaching and learning provided by teachers at Llanwern High School.
