The Classrooms
We believe that children learn in response to their environments and
deserve to work in challenging environments that stimulate and hold
their concentration. We strive to provide aesthetically attractive and
stimulating learning environments that challenge and celebrate the children's
learning.
ICT plays a very prominent role
in our school curriculum. We aim to ensure that all children are
confident and have the necessary skills to understand and use
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to their fullest
potential. In order to achieve this we have a commitment to ensure
that the children have access to the most up to date equipment
we can provide. |
|
Each classroom has its own computer.
Classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade 6 also have their own data
projectors, which allows the computer screen to be projected onto
the large classroom whiteboard. |
|
Our computer suite has 10 fully networked
computers. All are accessible to the Internet through a Broadband
connection. |
| We also have an interactive whiteboard
in our computer suite that is used by all children from Kindergarten
to Grade 6. This touch-sensitive board allows children to interact
with it directly with a special pen, rather than through a computer
keyboard. The board is linked to a presenter and its own computer
and includes a multitude of software relating to all areas of the
curriculum. Its height is also able to be adjusted so that children
of all ages can use it comfortably. |
|
This is the first interactive board in the schools
of the Turks and Caicos Islands. |
|
|
We are proud to be bringing the best resources
possible to our children and are currently fundraising towards
having one in every classroom in the future. |
| We also have a well stocked library of fiction and
non-fiction books, and music room which homes our own steel pan
drums. |
