Broadband Internet access and e-mail facilities are provided to all networked computers including the Senior School Library, Middle School and Junior School. This technology allows for convenient transfer of files to and from school. Students are relieved of the inconvenience of file transfer to and from school via floppy disk. The V.P.N also provides access to all school software. V.P.N software is available for download by Fintona staff and students.
Students learn to use different technology to enhance their work across all subject areas.
Access to flat-bed scanners, digital cameras, the presentation display panel, microphones, modems and zip drives enables the girls to collect and use information in a variety of interesting and informative ways. The computer laboratories are used by Information Technology classes and then by subject based classes on a booking system. Often students may work in small groups or individually if permitted to do so by their class teacher. Junior School classes are held on a regular basis for skill development work. During recess and lunchtimes computers are commonly used for recreational purposes.
