Our
campus has a computer laboratory containing some
of the latest computer technology currently
available.
All
teachers are encouraged to integrate the use of
technology into their classroom teaching
techniques as appropriate. Certain

with technology and bringing to their students
new applications of technology to assist in the
classroom environment.
