Information Technology

The School's well-equipped Information Technology (IT) Centre houses an IBM-compatible PC network running Microsoft Windows software. Two options are offered. The IT Option covers a wide range of computer applications, including word processing, spreadsheets, databases, desktop publishing, multimedia, graphics, programming, control technology and the Internet, and no previous computer experience is required. A separate, specialist Control Technology Option looks in more detail at the use of computers in controlling mechanical devices such as robots. This option is aimed at students with good programming and technical skills and places will be limited.


Literature with English Skills

This course is aimed at improving English skills through a study of Literature. Students are encouraged to explore and develop their skills in literacy criticism through close analysis of a range of texts. Students will have the opportunity to study poetry, prose extracts, short stories and selected scenes from plays. We endeavour to strike a balance between 19th and 20th century writers. There is also the opportunity to study literature from different cultures and traditions. This course is not suitable for students who do not have a strong command of the English language.

French

This course is offered at advanced, intermediate and elementary levels where emphasis will be on French conversation. The format and organisation of the classes will be as in English. French language magazines and newspapers will be used as a basis for topical discussion.
