Our modern Computer Centre is equipped with twenty-six networked Pentium 200 multimedia computers under Windows NT Workstation, plus a further 10 new computers in a second facility running Windows 2000. The network extends to the six computers in the library, as well as 8 in the staff room and 2 administration computers in Stanmore House. Each computer has a permanent Internet connection through the network for email and web browsing.
Pupils have access to a laser printer, colour printer, scanner and digital cameras.
Our intention is for each pupil in Grades 4 to 7 to learn to use the Internet for email and browsing the World Wide Web. This technology has far-reaching and valuable educational potential and we are determined to harness it creatively and effectively. We do of course recognise that the young should not be let loose on the Net without close supervision and guidance and have made provision for this to take place. The primary aim is to establish and develop strong IT skills. The main emphasis is upon skills development as required by the curriculum.
