ICT Department
Aims
With technology being a fundamental part of the twenty first century we feel it is important to provide our students with basic computer knowledge. This knowledge will equip our students with the ability to use current computer programmes with ease.
Teaching
Lessons are practical-based. Presentations show students what they must achieve by the end of each lesson. Students are then given a set of instructions to follow independently.
