ICT
Key Stage 3
All students do modules of ICT in Year 8. The aim of these is to acquire an understanding of the College networks, develop good housekeeping routines, learn how to design a video story, enhance presentation and internet techniques and introduce them to the College's email facility and a range of C2k subject software.

In Years 9 and 10 students study ICT for 1 hour every other week. Content covered in these classes includes Spreadsheets, Web Design, Mail Merge techniques and Databases. Students are also introduced to an extensive range of peripherals including scanners, OCR and digital cameras.

Throughout Key Stage 3 Information Technology is also delivered as a cross-curricular theme through the different areas of study. A range of subjects including Art, French, Geography, German, History, Home Economics, Irish, Mathematics, Spanish and Technology provide pupils with opportunities to develop knowledge, skills and understanding of ICT and to apply these to the different subjects.

Key Stage 4 
The college continues to deliver ICT through the different areas of study and also offers students the option of studying ICT as a GCSE subject. The course involves a comprehensive study of computer-based systems which consist of the personnel, techniques, software and hardware required to process information.  

Students also have the option of doing ECDL modules as a twilight course which runs from 3.45 - 4.45 p.m.  two days a week, for two years.

Post 16
All students take a course in ICT in year 13. They follow the Key Skills ICT course at either Level 2 or Level 3. These courses give students an opportunity to use the MS Office suite of packages in the development of a portfolio of work. Categories of software employed include Word Processing, Communication, Presentation, Spreadsheet, and Internet. Multi tasking between packages is an essential component in the development of a professional looking portfolio.

Students may also choose to study either Computing or ICT as an ‘A’ Level or an ‘AS’ Level. The central aim of these courses is to encourage students to develop an understanding of the principles of problem solving using programming techniques or software applications and to apply this understanding to a range of computer environments.

Extra-curricular
The college runs both a junior and a senior  Internet club for years 8 to 14 at lunchtimes. The computer suites are also open for students' use before and after school.

More detailed information on all courses mentioned above is available in the Options Booklets.
