ICT is a collection of techniques and knowledge for dealing with information and its communication, together with the equipment required.

ICT is viewed at SSIS as a tool to promote thinking and learning. It often involves integration into transdisciplinary units of inquiry, rather than as a separate content area.

The children will learn to use various equipment and software to develop their information skills (finding, sorting, using, inputting, storing, retrieving, interpreting) and their communication skills (presentations - written, oral, multimedia).

The children and teachers have access to over 200 computers running a wide range of educational software connected to a site-wide high speed Internet connection. There are 4 fully equipped computer rooms with 25 computers in each room. Classrooms are also equipped with computers and year groups have banks of laptops for children to use.

All children have a 40 minute period with a specialist ICT teacher every week.
