Welcome


Kia ora and welcome to the Holy Cross Computer Suite for 2018

My name is Mrs Graham and I am very honoured to be able to teach your children ICT skills once a week in this amazing learning centre.

First and foremost, the students learn what it is to be a Digital Citizen and how to keep themselves and others safe in our digital world, so that they are competent digital users.

Generally, the programme covers a warm-up of what it means to be a 'digital citizen', followed by the development of an IT skill, then some research of a particular topic, learning games to practise Math knowledge, and lastly, a reflection on what 'hooked them into learning' that day.

We also have a Garfield letter box in the Computer Suite where students are invited to write a note with what they enjoyed doing in their lesson, or maybe the name of a website they enjoy using at home which may assist the learning in our suite. Whatever, I look forward to hearing from them.

To all parents and guardians, please feel free to visit me in the room near the school office or post a comment to let me know if your children are using what we do in here, to practise at home.
