Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an important part of our every day lives today and it will continue to become increasingly important in our children's lives in the future.

Our aim at Opaheke School is:

To develop a positive attitude about Information and Communication Technology
To become discerning in use of information from a variety of sources
To acquire computer literacy and a range of skills utilising other information technologies
To be aware of the relevance and usefulness of information technology in everyday life

We encourage our students to use ICT to learn in new and interesting ways, often through ways not possible with other resources. As teachers we endeavour to integrate information and communication technologies into classroom programmes in meaningful ways, using these tools to support learning in other curriculum areas.

ICT Facilities

Our school is fully networked. The ICT suite (31 computers) is a key resource in our school. Each classroom has at least one computer and a number of laser printers are easily accessed throughout the school. We have research computers available in the library and our library system is fully computerised. We have a number of data show projectors for classroom use as well as digital cameras and digital video cameras. We have mobile computer trolleys (COWS) that can be moved from room to room to allow extra access for classes requiring further computers for research work.
