ICT (PW and IRS)

ICT / Innovation & Niche / PW / MRL

Vision

“Everyone Can Do IT”

The ICT committee envisions Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to be encompassed within the overall culture of the school through its infusion into the school’s standard processes including, delivery of lessons, developing process skills for knowledge acquisition, promotion of creative thinking, people development, and application of appropriate tools for enhanced efficiency in administration.

The four words articulated in the vision express for whom, how and why ICT is implemented:

everyone	-	all staff, pupils, resident vendors and parents
can	-	literacy and competency leading to appropriate application
do	-	maximised and ethical usage for administration, communication, and teaching & learning
IT	-	technology used to manage information for enhanced efficiency and support learning anytime, anywhere.

ICT prepares the young to participate in a rapidly changing world in which almost all activities are increasingly transformed through access to varied and developing technology. It is crucial for pupils to know how to employ ICT to enable rapid and legal access to ideas and experiences from a wide range of people, communities and cultures. Increased capabilities in the use of ICT promote self-directed and collaborative learning as pupils are able to make informed judgements from the data gathered. Stakeholders who are well-versed in ICT also enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of administration and communication, as well as allows for the creation of a conducive learning environment for pupils. ICT-based assessment provides an alternative form of review of pupils’ learning and performance.

Objectives

The objectives of the ICT programmes are to:

• Provide pupils with ICT enriched learning experiences and focusing on SDL and CoL.
• Provide opportunities for pupils to see the relevance of cyber wellness to their lives and acquire key cyber wellness skills.

Media Resource Library

Vision

A haven where a community of learners becomes scholars.

Philosophy Print and the digital resources are the media that unlock the door of knowledge and wonderment.

The library is where our pupils uncover the complex, challenging yet mysterious and wonderful world around them. They explore and analyse a whole range of fiction and non-fiction, from Shakespeare to the sciences.

Through a myriad of resources, books and digital media, our pupils will engage in scholarly activities to develop a deeper understanding of the richness and complexity of literature and its continuing relevance within our diverse global cultures. By the same means, the community of learners is enriched with what the sciences offer and their lives are enhanced by the world of arts and crafts.

Having acquired the richness of language from the literary works available, our pupils develop the power to express their thoughts, feelings and aspirations in a logical, creative and imaginative way.

Rulang Primary School has mapped a learning journey so that interesting and diversed learning can take place for the pupils. And Media Resource Library, in its main or supportive role, will work together to provide the necessary resources available.

Objectives

The Media Resource Library strives to provide opportunities for pupils to develop their enjoyment, confidence and independence in learning and using multi-media resources.

This requires the Media Resource Library to develop a current collection of multi-media resources for the Media Resource Library and iRead books for the class library that is relevant to all create areas within the library to accommodate various purpose and use for both staff and pupils

Desired Outcomes

With the wide range of books and fun activities held regularly, the library is an inviting place to more than just read!
