As a core subject in Years 7 - 9, Information Technology introduces students to a range of contemporary technologies, and is designed to develop and refine skills needed to successfully incorporate these technologies in their day-to-day learning and recreational experiences.
In addition, ICT is incorporated into a range of subjects across the curriculum.
Across the three years our girls learn about:
Year 10 students can elect to continue their studies in IT on a semester or full year basis. Subjects offered are: Communications Technology (single semester), Information Technology (single semester) or Information Technology (full year). Each of these subjects continues to develop skills and understandings in a range of contemporary technologies. Skills in website creation and the use of spreadsheet and database software become more sophisticated. Girls are also encouraged to become more familiar with Web 2.0 technologies and incorporate their use into their learning.
VCE students have the opportunity to undertake Units 1 and 2 Information Technology and Units 3 & 4 Software Development. The VCE IT subjects focus on how individuals or organisations use ICT to solve information problems and to participate actively in a society where the use of ICT is commonplace.
