We purchased interactive whiteboards for each class as well as purchasing a bank of 30 laptops for our middle to upper primary classes and 30 netbooks for our early years students to use. We also provided wireless internet connectivity in all areas of our school. The staff have been involved in a myriad of professional development opportunities to increase their understanding and proficiency in embedding ICLT in all key learning areas.
