Note:

The school enters the third and final year of the ICT Cluster contract in 2011. The variation document from the cluster will have some impact on the direction of ICT next year.In 2011 systems need to be further developed and implemented that allow teachers and students access to the ever growing number of learning resources online. To ensure access the wireless access throughout the school needs upgrading so students can bring in their own computing devices and staff can be assured of access to the network and internet at all times.To further the use of OLE the school will be using google apps for education for both staff and students.
