Computing
Our children live in an, “…ever changing, modern world.” It is our intent that our school continues to evolve and keep up to date with changes in technology. Our computing curriculum is sequenced in a way that builds upon prior knowledge and acknowledges that children are exposed to modern computing, every day in the home.
