Information Technology
Children born into today's fast-paced technological age are used to information being readily accessible to them, both through computer programs and the Internet. As such, it is essential that Somerset College remains on the cutting edge of Information and Communications Technology.
Computer lessons in the Preparatory School begin in Grade 1, with students in subsequent years learning basic Microsoft Office skills that enable them to conduct Internet research and produce documents, slide shows and spreadsheets.
The ongoing upgrading of teaching facilities in the classroom is a priority, and the past number of years has seen the installation of interactive white boards and network accessibility in many classrooms.
Students are assigned a mentor (staff member) for the course, who supports and assist the student. After successfully completing the leadership programme, the students are awarded certificate at the final Grade 7 assembly.
