At the elementary level, students engage in dance, fitness, games, gymnastics, and water activities, with particular emphasis on the development of fine and gross motor co-ordination. Computer Education Computer studies are pursued under the guidance of specialist teachers. The computer lab houses over 40 Windows based computers, each providing students access to the internet and various popular software packages. In addition, each classroom is equipped with at least one fully networked computer, while the library has a half dozen computers which students may use for research. At all levels, students are familiarized with the components and workings of personal computers and their importance in our lives.
Students learn proper operational and safety procedures as well as terminology related to computers.
Lower school computer classes, which meet twice a week, emphasise proper keyboarding techniques, basic word processing skills, and various creative projects which are interwoven with classroom studies. The upper school computer courses, required for students from Grade 6 through 9, explore the inner workings of computers and introduce students to basic programming languages which emphasise logical thinking and project planning. In order for students to develop appropriate life-skills and enjoy physical, emotional, and intellectual wellness, they need to be informed about health and personal issues. For this reason, health studies and personal development are integrated into a number of subject areas, most particularly science, social studies, and physical education.
