Information Communication and Learning Technologies

Children in all classes have ready access to desktop and lap top computers, ipods, listening posts, digital cameras, CD's and DVD's. Class groups also have access to the computer lab housing 30 desktop computers.The use of computer technology across all Key Learning Areas and year levels is to enhance and integrate the curriculum.

All classrooms are linked by a fibre optic backbone to the main server providing file storage, Intranet and Internet services. Nightly backups are taken of critical data and are kept offsite.

The school has a policy developed for the use of the Internet as a research tool which all children must sign and observe. Sequential skill development in the use of technology begins in Year 1 with weekly lessons.

Our computer lab has 30 Intel based computers with LCD screens and gas lift chairs. A small bank of computers is also located in the Library.
