VAS has invested in five modern computers and projectors or other large screen display technology in each class. The aim is integration of ICT across curriculum areas. Students have access to a number of online learning systems such as Mathletics for numeracy and Reading Eggs and the Raz reading programme for Literacy. These systems in general facilitate a high level of engagement as well as automated monitoring and reporting capacities allowing a bridge between learning at home and school. VAS has a number of devices to extend learning in multimedia and technology: cameras, robotics, and an iPad. There is ongoing investment in staff training and collaboration with the Ministry of Education to effectuate its recommendations and requirements. The school also collaborates with organisations such as Netsafe and Watchdog to implement current best practice in the area of cybersafety.
The school is in the process of implementing a learning management system called "Ultranet", believing that it will be of value to parents and students. Students can sign into classroom pages in Ultranet which hosts resources, homework, revision tasks, wiki quizzes and discussions . |
