Kindergarten
Kindergarten classes are currently enjoying learning from the games in "Millie's Maths House", "Sammy's Science House", "Bailey's Book House" and "Trudy's Time and Place House". They will soon be learning about letters and their sounds from playing games in "An Island Adventure".  They also will be accessing many educational games on the Internet.
Year 1 & Year 2 students are learning how to type their name in Kid Pix. They can change the Size, Font & Colour. They are learning to use the drawing tools to make illustrations. They save their work in their own folder on the school network.
 
Senior Classes research topics from KLA's using the Internet. They are able to present information using Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Publisher and Excel. We also provide many educational games to improve spelling, mathematics, science, HSIE and logical thinking.

 

Kids' Comments

Kids play games in free time, go on the internet and look up web sites or do work like, the school history, make posters etc." "The computer room has 31 computers in the room and if you need help the teacher of the computer room, Mrs Sharpe, will help you. So it is a lot of fun."
