Still seems ambitious for  Grade 10.

Suggest Mint 17 as LTS or Ubuntu. RedHat (yum) is more technical.
synaptic is a  sweet graphical way to manage updates.

In passing, odd things worth explaining:
(Others will doubtless add their pets)

1) advantage of LTS versions
2) CLI evils of spaces and punctuation in file names (use underscores and caps 
with too MS)
eg ThisIsMine.txt  or This_is_mine.txt
(It once took me several minutes to rename a manager's file to "x")
interesting challenge to give some nasty names: 
This'intended;$(to) "make you mental" & [nutty]. txt
3) yes Virginia there are BSDs and they serve an important purpose
4) find and grep/egrep  have special powers

My 18 y.o has been using Linux since he was 4.
With school project PowerPoint and such he has become expert
at knowing where  open/libre Office  don't quite match the MS products.

Ambitious doesn't quite cover it.

Good Hunting!

Cheers,
Chris
