Computer Lab.
We have a well-equipped Computer Lab. Of 40 computers that is used extensively by both our learners and staff. Our full-time computer teacher introduces the children to computers from Class U.KG, and computer lessons form part of the weekly timetable up to Class 8th.
Lessons are integrated with what the teachers are doing in the classroom, using our wide variety of software. This enables us to make websites, blogs, newspaper reports, stories and create various other documents. Using Microsoft Office programmers are a priority because we believe that it’s a Foundational Skill necessary for high school and further. We use a typing programme to improve typing skills, and we integrate all technology to reinforce and consolidate mathematics and literacy.
Our latest acquisition is the Com4Kids computer education programme which is a relevant and integrated curriculum. With information technology moving faster and faster, and becoming more and more important, Com4Kids will ensure that each learner is equipped with an international internet driver’s licence by the time they enter high school, equipping learners with the digital skills they will need in almost any career.
The Computer Lab is located on the ground floor of the Library just off from the Main Office of the school. The lab is open from 8 AM to 11AM with card id access on the main door.
