Primary School ICT and Computing
At the Primary school level, the computing curriculum can be broken down into 3 strands: Computer science, Information technology, and Digital literacy.
We aim to spark interest in ICT and Computing at a young age, with our engaging tutoring lessons for Years 3-6. We work to build each student’s confidence and give them the courage to ask questions in class.
