Computers are a key part of classroom learning with students able to access excellent technology systems and facilities. The school is fully networked with secure individual data storage, Internet and intranet access via every computer and a range of the latest software packages. Facilities include three computer labs, one operating as a multi-media electronic classroom, two mini-labs and a bank of computers in the Library. Students can access the library all day for individual work and this year, one computer lab was open to students during class breaks.
All staffrooms are linked to the network and the use of computers in school administration continues to expand rapidly. We use an outcomes based computer reporting system and the RISC tracking system to help manage student welfare and discipline.
The use of technology in the classroom is a major strength of our school with each faculty using subject specific software to enhance student learning. Also, computers are an integral part of many of the literacy projects. Both students and staff have developed high level film production and editing skills and enjoy using these techniques in the learning process.
