Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Page Content The use of technology is growing at an unprecedented rate across all areas of our society and the classroom should mirror the reality of a student’s future.
As foundational technology skills penetrate throughout our society, students will be expected to apply the basics in authentic, integrated ways to solve problems, complete projects, and creatively extend their abilities. Students who attend Sir William Mulock have the opportunity to be part of a school where teachers embed technology in a meaningful, purposeful and educational way. Students will have the unique opportunity to enrich their educational experience through an interactive, hands-on, digital learning initiative, while learning the Ontario curriculum. As part of this initiative students are asked to provide and bring a portable computer (e.g. netbook or laptop) to their daily classes. Entering its fourth year, this joint school and YRDSB initiative has students graduating from Sir William Mulock Secondary School and the York Region District School Board who have been part of a whole-school approach combining traditional quality teaching and 21st century technology.
In order to support all students we have established a Laptop Loaner program. Students can borrow a laptop by completing the form below and leaving a deposit with the school in the main office. Please speak to an administrator for full details.
