The Goal
In keeping focused on the school’s vision of being a vibrant and innovative centre of learning, this programme aims to enrich and transform the learning environment of our pupils and equip them with the critical competencies and dispositions to succeed in a knowledge economy. (MOE-ICT MP3). Aligned to the school’s Strategic Thrust 4 (To enhance teaching and learning outcomes through the use of ICT), the programme creates a unique learning process for the learners by taking advantage of the learning opportunities beyond the classroom offered by technology. In order to achieve this, staff capacity and professionalism (Strategic Thrust 3) will also be further enhanced with relevant training.
