A number of computer applications are used to assist in the development of these skills and include stand-alone software packages as well as software suites or integrated packages, such as Microsoft Office applications and their OS equivalent such as and Pages and Numbers. The software used includes word processing, spreadsheeting, drawing and painting applications. We also make full use of multimedia applications. Boys also learn file manipulation using the Junior School network storage areas, hard drives and individual memory sticks.
All classes make full use of the Learning Management System, known as Desire 2 Learn (D2L). D2L ties together the use of information technology in both the home and the school. Each boy has a username and password that gives them access from an icon on the home page. Boys from Year 2 to Year 6 are taught how to utilitise this educational resource during ICT sessions.
