Digital Leaders

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We are lucky to have 8 Digital Leaders in our school. These very friendly and helpful pupils are there to help everyone get the most out of ICT. If you have a technical question or just need a hand, just ask any of them and they will be more that happy to help.

Our Digital Leaders help our younger pupils during computer sessions and support class teachers to download apps. We meet regularly to trial and develop new and exciting technologies and to think of new ways of making ICT even  more fun.

Information and Communication Technology

The curriculum requirements for Using ICT are set out under the 5 "E's: Explore, Express, Exchange, Evaluate and Exhibit. These apply to all pupils in primary school from Primary 1 to Primary 7. Pupils develop skills in each of these areas through the use of digital tools. 

We have a fully equipped ICT suite available for all the classes to use on a weekly basis. Our digital leaders put their excellent ICT skills to great use by assisting P1 and P2 pupils in the ICT suite. In every classroom, we have interactive whiteboards to help make learning more hands-on and engaging for pupils. Every class also has a set of iPads to further enhance teaching and learning through ICT. The iPads are a key asset in promoting cross-curricular learning throughout the school, with pupils demonstrating creativity in Literacy, Numeracy and World Around Us.

Due to the technological world pupils are currently living in, we aim to provide them with vital ICT skills to enhance their learning and to develop their confidence in using a range of digital technology for the future.
