Information Technology

In our Technologies Information Technology Learning area we introduce our students to a wide range of computer applications and activities.

In Years 7-10 our program covers many aspects of IT including: basic computer operations; word processing; spread sheets; typography; graphic design and game design. Assessment tasks are structured to allow students to think creatively and critically while learning practical skills. As the lower school courses progress so does the complexity of the tasks and the skill level required. For example in Year 10 students will be required to solve design problems through creative projects that utilise a range of applications. Topics such as computer hardware, web design, databases and web based game design are covered.
