You should look into LTSP using either Edubuntu (seeing as it's a school) because it's got it pre-built in or Ubuntu 7.10 desktop as it's easily implemented on that.
Other possible stuff to look at which has a networking slant is m0n0wall and pfsense. With pfsense and m0n0wall you can look at captive portals and how they work etc...pfsense allows you to look at QoS and packet shaping.
You might want to have a post on http://www.edugeek.net/. It's an excellent website for ICT in education (for techies). They will most certainly give you some advice (and i'll probably be there).
I'm soon to run a "lunchtime club" at the school which I work at. It's 30 mins or so once a week on practical computing.
Would you like to contribute some suggestions? Here's what I plan to do:
I certainly will be covering PC architecture (I don't have other hardware like MACs) - Disassembley and reassembly, other physical stuff. Networking too, ending up with 5 machines on a LAN running web servers.
I plan to get them to code some simple "hello world" php, then connect to their server and view their pages.
Chris.
