The school recognises the importance of IT in our rapidly changing modern world. In order to prepare our pupils, the school is equipped with an up-to-date computer suite. The children are introduced to this facility at a young age, supporting their learning in a variety of subjects. They benefit from specialist instruction on a weekly basis and are taught how to use the Internet and e-mail facilities safely and wisely.

The younger children use a variety of computer programs and the resourceful ‘My World’ educational series, which enhances their learning and helps them to become confident able computer users. In the Junior School they are taught how to use the ‘Office’ group of programs, Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, which is an invaluable resource for them to begin their secondary education.

In addition, from Kindergarten upwards the classes benefit from Interactive Whiteboards. In the PrePrep School there are also computers in each classroom for the children to use.
